bingo. a bug for bumping because their edges aren't bloody enough, bah,
it'll get done just as soon as i can, but not before then, probably in
the next week or so. now a version bump bug because it fixes an actual
BUG, ping me, that i'll avoid coffee breaks (actually...that's not a
good thing to do...) and sleep to get it in and working. I'm with this
Duncan on this one (and someone said the way i couldn't manage in my
other drafts :)
