I certainly agree with this! The same effort spent on documentation  
rather than on a plugin system would, imho, give greater value. But,  
as there seems to be a willingness to work on plugins in contrast to  
the willingness to document, I am supporting progress wherever it is  
on offer.

The project is over and eventually I solved the problems through sweat  
and tears.  I have the solutions scribbled down somewhere and  
eventually I mean to put the up on the web somewhere to save others  
the same pain.
