My apologies for being absent... I'm just getting caught up from being
away for the holidays.  :-|  So, by all means don't wait on me if
you'd like to get a release sent out.

Regarding what you have in cvs now: I think the style changes are
looking great. After trying it out, the first thing I wanted was
auto-scrolling for the progress section.

I don't believe I have access to the repository, but I'll gladly send patches.

This 3 line patch just auto scrolls the progress section:
