most objects in iemguts are pretty self-contained (well, they all
included the same header, that provides some common infrastructure.

so taking the C-code of one of the iemguts objects and releasing them
separately, is just a stupid way to circumvent the "unstable/unfinished"
clause.
in this case it would be better to just add iemguts to pdx.
(i think forking is ok if you need to add functionality or want to
re-implement things; but just for the sake of releasing, i think forks
are a bda thing)

otoh, i hope that this was the last monolithic pdx release, which i
might make things like releasing "unstable/unfinished" things a bit easier.

mfgadsr.

PS: probably i should just add a popup where the users have to type
"Yes_i_understand_that_the_upstream_author_considers_this_unstable" once.
