Good man, thanks. Joseph had sent me this in private mail too.

Omegahat once was meant to be the extension / successor / ... to R, but is
these days mostly the repository for the various activities of Duncan. He is
insanely creative, but doesn't always drive things to their conclusion. His
code typically is a little harder to install etc pp. His Java and Python
binding are examples of that...  So his code could linger in this for a
while, or it could make a quantum leap and get into SWIG upstream. Hard to
tell.

Something to keep an eye on, as opposed to holding one's breath, I suppose.

Cheers, Dirk
