François wrote me that he is no longer able to maintain it and
searches someone who will continue his work. I do not know git and
have no time to learn it. If someone oves it to subversion (or at
least cvs) and adds me as a developer, I can do it. Adding
\RequirePackage is siple and I can do it quickly (or if somebody else
does it...). There are other possible improvements but I can deal more
with the package probably only since January next year.
