Are there many people out there using it ? I don't mind fiddling a bit if
it's definatly going to work properly without *too* much problems.

I have to admit, I don't have enough C knowledge yet to be confident enough
to do a patch of my own.... I always find it really disorientating to try
and alter the structure of someone elses codebase without ballsing it up...
so I'd be relying on some kind soul's prewritten patches....

I only recently seen a few of them myself, theyre not something I'd get into
at the mo, i was just wondering would Services be compatible with any of
them, for future reference...
