I think its in a usable shape. There are still some edge case tests open
(f.e. stuff which checks for proper paths if directories in the rootline
have been renamed and others), but these could be written later as well.
I haven't checked the docs though if they reflect the current code.

Well, actually I'm not using it yet for guitone, but of course I plan
to. Right now I'm kind of missing man power for guitone since the other
two guys who originally helped out went away and I'm distracted with
many other things (politics, mtn hacking, distract hacking, macports,
family, live, ... ;)

Yep, see above. If there are still issues with the format, I'm sure we
can sort them out in the next release. Only implementations and usage
will tell us if we've done a good job so far...
