The main thing that concerns me is the lack of source compatibility, given that the original version was included in beta1.  Can you make it so that the old way of calling it will still work, even if the behaviour isn't exactly the same?

Also, and sorry about this, e-c-m now uses reST-based documentation.  Can you please rework the docs (and copyright/license notice) to match the style/syntax of the other modules?

    Some info about where mylib.qm will be looked for would be useful.
