Yup, we've been working on improving it at work.  My understanding is 
that we will be continuing to open-source the work we're doing on it but 
but we likely won't have time to look at it before the weekend.  In 
fact, really it's on the back burner for a few weeks but we could 
probably make sure everything is sane and send you a snapshot sooner.

Of course, what Avi has may be enough for you at the moment anyway.  A 
good chunk of our changes are just design cleanup anyway.  For proof of 
concept the old stuff will still work and the new stuff hasn't been 
tested with Tantalus at all.
