thanks for the kind words fleep :)

however, the contributors list contains the only people worthy of any
praise in this project.  all i'm doing is tweaking and repackaging their
goodies into a (fairly) no-brainer bundle for easier consumption and
fewer sleepless nights.  i don't know of anyone that wouldn't benefit
from a little bit of that.  "less is more, simpler is better" - that's
my story and i'm sticking to it!  be well.
