Thanks, it wasn't yet when I last updated, fixed now.

mach was the first version, based on Makefiles.

mach2 was the second, and it being my first ever python program, is now
horrible to look at :)

mach3 was my modular rewrite, which is half-done, and I'm not sure I'll
ever work up the interest to finish it again, after mach got 'forked'
unkindly to mock in Fedora.

The particular problem you mentioned in your previous mail is one I
would end up fixing in this new codebase.
