<note>
Even tho it wasn't really necessary, I know I've overdocumented this app.
My excuse is that I wanted to learn how to use doxygen, and this was a
good app to run it on. So if you want full documentation, and you have
doxygen installed, available from BeBits, run <code>doxygen .doxygen-conf</code>
in the code directory, and it will create docs for you.
