Re: [Ltib] Gnash support for ltib

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Rob,

Thanks very much for posting this.  If I every get some spare time, it
would be good to get this integrated into the main project.
Unfortunately I need to do some package refresh too before I can do that
and currently I'm snowed.

Thanks again,

Regards, Stuart
