If that is the policy, I will do it on the next update. Although the
last time I did that:

2006-01-07 George Sherwood <george AT beernabeer.com>
* DETAILS: Updated to version 2.6.1. BUILD_API=2 removed.
* PRE_BUILD: Removed. Patch doesn't work
* CONFIGURE: Removed option to text front. Not developed
anymore.
* BUILD: Ensure text front end is disabled

I got a bugs written against it and patches submitted to make it work.
So somebody must like it. :)

George
