Well, I'm not an extremely good coder by any stretch of the
imagination, but it seems to me that we're gonna have to write the
code either way, so we might as well add on to what's already there.
The only disadvantage I can see is that we'll have to have a pretty
good grip on how minideblib works, and that takes time. But it
certainly seems the sensible thing to do. I say we go for it. :-)
