I ended up refactoring the magic glass and highlighting code quite a  
bit, I think there might be something worth checking out.  As for  
other bug fixes, it would be great to have them in the patch tracker  
so we can sort them out.  It would take me a massive amount of time to  
figure out what code changes are for what in pdl2ork since there isn't  
any version control (that I could find at least) and it seems to be a  
mix of 0.42 and 0.43 versions.
