Two thoughts I have: first, we shouldn't suffer from nih (and so should 
evaluate the use of such tools), on the other hand, I think it's not 
good to introduce one tool after another.

What is similiar between mantis and BFAV, and what is different? How 
much work would be needed to enhance BFAV (or to integrate it)? Or are 
these two for complete different jobs?
