Denis,

Thanks for showing your interest in KLC. I really
would like to see those features which you mentioned.
If you send me the patches from the latest code, which
you can get from the CVS, it would be good. If you
send me the documentation, which will help me to
understand your code, it would be very nice.

Thanks,
Ankit Patel
