You are welcome.

Well, the CVS is undergoing a big transition right now, and I doubt that 
Paul will accept any new features until the gtk2 port is complete. Your 
idea sounds very good to me, and I don't see why it wouldn't be included.

The old archives might be present at sourgeforce. Current archives at 
ardour.org start from Feb 2004, it might be possible that it was posted 
earlier than that. But just look at the code, what convention is used to 
name functions, stick to that. Don't use tabs, but spaces.
