I was wondering about what this RDO stuff was.
Actually I had a look at the code and it seemed to be the kind of stuff
I *really* like but I wasn't sure about your intentions and... well..
given that you wrote once "don't ask and wait until its done".. I was
waiting :)

So.. now I have a nice excuse for asking :)

According to the code I quickly browsed, I'd say that it'd be
interesting to use it and moving into PHP5 does not pose any problem,
far from that, actually I think Thor would be *much* cleaner based on PHP5
