    <p>Thanks all for your replies.<br>
      It does, however, not answer the first question, whether or not
      CLFS is still alive or is planning to come alive again.<br>
      Due to lack of answers I - for now - assume that neither is the
      case. Still, the documents as well as your answers  provide some
      pointers which I shall incorporate in my current project.</p>
    <p>Thanks again and a happy new year!</p>
    <p>-- Frans.<br>
