Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:

>> It's free tool.so don't expect me to pay you.  :-)
>> If you are interested...please mail me.

Some observations:

1. Build fails (gcc 4.1.1 20070105) with multiple warnings (e.g.
   "incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function").
2. Please don't use "joke" licenses, they will guarantee exclusion from
   distros. Consider the GPL instead.
3. Your second priority, after cleaning up the above errors, should be
   to seek help translating the project documentation to proper English,
   so that it's intelligible.
4. comp.os.linux.development.apps would be a more appropriate group in
   which to ask for volunteers and help, COLA is an *advocacy* group,
   not a *help* group.
5. Nonetheless, don't be discouraged :)
6. Learn how to use autoconf.

> Have you considered reusing (hacking on) an existing, similar tool?

I'd surmise this is a kid on his first (public) project, so IMHO he has
bigger priorities ATM (like getting it to actually *work* for a start).
