Hello guys,

I am very sorry for my late reply. I had to take a few months off for personal reasons.

Thanks for your great feedback.

Eli, you told me about the copyright paperwork, which I am interested in doing, so could you please send me the form you mentioned?

What I can do now is address the issues you guys pointed out and come back with a more "professional" looking commit.

Best,

Adam

No further comments, so I've now added the necessary bits and
installed this on the master branch.
