the main problem that i have with the tiny point approach is that you

lose the automatically maintained message base that ppoint gives (and it

works heaps better than squish too). i'm not worried about not seeing

the internals, i'm not even worried about sending the guy his 40 bucks

if it means that he will continue development and add more features.
