Sounds promising.. I'll try to understand the Loci sourcecode this
evening,
after which we (I?) can try some kinda merge 'pilot' to get a clear
picture
about the problems of a loci-gms marriage. I've been doing professional
porting last 2 years.. so I'll be able to see any problem quite quickly,
though
I've never used Python myself ;)
