That's great!

We also need some material for the User's Guide.  Nothing detailed,
as people can read the buttons and explore the menus for themselves,
just a screenshot, a feature list / bit on why people will want to use
it, and the basics to get started.  I can do the DocBook if you send
the raw material.

Oh, and we don't have HGL working with WinHugs, do we?  (Problem
with the MSVC-compiled winhugs loading MinGW-compiled DLLs, as I
recall.)
