It is in need of some loving, something I've been planning
for months but haven't had/made time for as of yet.  There is
a TODO list in the CHANGELOG of known issues remaining to get
it fully working with 4.7.  As for an official 4.7 release, I
was hoping to do some cleanup of the underlying logic while
retaining functionality -- the code is too messy. Patches to
either end are welcome.

Oops.  I've been on vacation this month, and will be until
early next month.  I've obviously been neglecting the issue
queue.

I too rely on this module, which is why I wrote it.  It's not
one I'm looking to pass on maintainership of, though I'd
certainly welcome help in improving the code, the user
interface, etc...  Anyone interested in CVS access to help
with my goals outlined above can ping me offline.  I'm not
interested in people who plan to just blindly commit patches
from the queue, though someone whose primary focus is getting
the module 100% functional with 4.7 would be welcome.
