Hi Jeff and Peter,
I agree that this would be the best solution.

Starting a 2.0 branch just like that is only a good solution if you
don't want to look back.
If Scott could be motivated to start an official 1.6 and a 2.0 after
that or if he could at least nominate a new maintainer, that would be a
much better way.

If that is not going forward, here is my current status:

Changed everything except the tests to the new flexible way of getting
and setting information.
I am doing the test now and then will release my work in a subversion
repository.
If everybody agrees that git is the best way to continue, then we could
also use a git repository. 

BR,
Ralf
