I sympathize 100%.  A lot of people are quick with the cattle prod for
throwing every bit of useful code out to the waiting world.  But they

try releasing code with a minimum of effort, you're subject to licensing
flames and users who expect bottomless tech support and four score reams
of professionally-edited documentation.
