The reason is simple, after talking (read arguing) with rycee on IRC,
it turns out that he is working on his own new improved init.d spell
(as i mentioned). I handed off my work to him and he set out integrating
it with what is currently there. I've laid out the groundwork, and at
this point he needs to integrate it properly with his version of the
spell. IMO if we were to try collaborating it would be less effective,
he needs to just tie it all together and make sure it works. From what ive
gathered this is the case. Im still eager to get this through, and am not
'giving up' its just not something I am willing or able to handle anymore.

Im also tired of 1) explaining how this works and 2) disagreeing on how this 
works with everyone because either a) someone doesnt understand or b) I dont 
understand some apparent technicality of how this works.

Ive been doing work on a tinderbox and have a good chunk of the central
code in a beta stage (i think), Im trying to head up this 'project'
while writing some spells that i need and working 10-12 hours a day in
RL, Im trying as hard as I can :)
