As long as I'm using the code (and, working with Unices, I'm using it), I will
try to help.

For the moment, I will just propose fixes via merge
requests as I go on, and try to split things and explain them so that
they do not require a huge amount of wondering for the ones who have
to accept them, and as long as the current developers
can "purge" the stack from time to time, it's perfectly OK for me.
