;-) It's not yet done, but I commited a few things. If you are carfull and 
don't move clips to much, you can already use it, but after a while it'll 
crash on you.

Ooopsy, no, but I will. Thanx.

Ok, what about STDOUT  output that piave produces? There are three levels 
right now:

 piave -q    level 0 ; will print out fatal ERROR messages
 piave       level 1 ; will print out also WARNING level messages
 piave -v    level 2 ; will print out also INFO level messages (a lot)

For debugging I _need_ to see all of the INFO level messages. How about I 
change the options to:

 piave          level 0;
 piave -v       level 1;   verbose
 piave -d       level 2;   debug

That's great.

Cheers,
