Hmm, I did not completely review the EventHook code, but I could
successfully use it, therefore it is useful :-). I also think that the
small glitches left are not related to the EventHook code, i observed
them with my own hook system from back then as well.

It works without changes to the core.

Personally I must say that I’d prefer a hook inserted in the core (just
like logHook etc.) for simplicity, but I’m fine with whatever works. 

Greetings,
Joachim
