slowly but surely...  by this i mean that public distribution has
obligations and additional time consumption beyond the primary effort
of writing code to do things.  i may report on the results of testing
an implementation, but it may be many months before it ends up in your
hands all vetted and pretty.  or maybe never, which has happened
before infrequently.

is this really such an alien concept?  i did not submit to your RFP; i
did not make claims on the record or ask for an article; i did not
swear a work for hire on your behalf...  asking nicely never hurts,
however, zero encumbered devel is intentional and enjoyable!

mtrngd is safe to play with, but:

don't use the FDE script!
  it is outdated, using outdated FDE, and better is available.
