Sounds good. :-)

Just so you know, I just released 0.4 (http://aciresnippets.wordpress.com/2010/03/26/acire-0-4-released/) - I may merge a few small changes in there and bug fixes: a few people have a few things that are working on.

Indeed! While there will be a few changes here and there, I recommend you regularly update your branch to ensure you don't need to rebase it much. :-)

Bring it on!

Another contributor is actually working on clearing the terminal. :-)

Yeah, I have been thinking about this too. We may want to fix this.

Aha, good idea.

So maybe we can fix these issues after you land the dep checker?

Thanks, Ed!
