There is a little modification of [originator] by Luke, which is
pending to be included in the official Memento and which implements
saving and restoring presets for each [originator] separately. Luke
also made his modification available somewhere in SVN, I don't
remember the name currently, I guess something like "semento". As soon
as I've catched up all the loose ends after LAC2008, I'll include it.

Ciao
