[Nitro] Road To Perdition, or: Fixme status

[George Moschovitis]

Ok, your proposal sounds reasonable. Can you please help me by
submitting a set of patches against the current version of my
repository. This patches wil not break anything so I 'll be able to
apply them immediately. Can you please help here?

regards,
George.
