ahha. and then license wise we *might* be ok - reading up on
 http://www.openbsd.org/policy.html I get a bit of a mixed feeling - as
IANAL :)

precisely, that's the idea. What is your feeling about that approach ?

ugh. if it is hardcoded.... maybe we just go ahead with making the search
module export only os* functions and do the search HUD instead ? :-) and for
the "old search" we could return a single item "use os* functions to do the
search" - and subsequently include the appropriate HUD into the library.

(oops, this brings up the question of wearables, but for the time being we
can make a "search box in inventory" :)

I'm on IRC now - and Diva mentioned she might be able to get online as
well... will be another 40 minutes or so - because then it will be 5am and
the body will demand some sleep :-)
