Sorry for not responding earlier...  My friend and I didn't have a
chance to work on this again yet (it's too difficult for me - i tried
reading that code and i'm a bit lost, so i prefer to work on things
easier for me), but in order not to waste your answer, maybe let's add
it to CG/Programming work/miscellaney ?  I attach a patch.

thanks,
Janek
