Your .exe (from the 'About' button) noted 0.54 - don't worry
about this oddity we'll simply need to mention it to Simon when
we talk to him (or maybe even defear it to post-completing our work).

I CC'ed 'developer' and as soon as I hear back and I'll forward it to the
list (ie. you'll know when I know ;-)

As for working on shaping, sure go for it.  Once you are done
with the shaping (something tells me it will be quick now that
you had done it with one sample code) simply 'cvs commit' the
new patch with the appropriate log message denote the addition
of embedded shaping.  Do please remember to 'diff -u' all the
files you've touched (including those that disable windows'
shaping) so the patch is always ever-inclusive.

Salam.
