Just one question which I have to ask because I have very little experience
with CVS: I checked out the sources a couple of days ago with the intention
of doing some minor adjustments to XaAES. Since you want to keep 1.17 for
development I assume that there will be no problems with checking in the
diffs?

I've been using it for about two years now and I'm very pleased with it.
It's robust and works better than any other AES. I don't see any problem in
a release now - in fact it should have been released at least a year ago ;-)

There is some excellent documentation on xaaes.atariforge.net which could be
included in the release. I think the installer should be based on EasyMiNT.
I installed EasyMiNT myself last year and it was indeed easy :-)
