I've been in touch with the author if hypetombox.pl, and he's rather
disinclined to update it, since he still uses 1.x. Though I reminded him
that come 1/1/00, he would no longer be using 1.x, one way or another.
It seems to me too useful a tool to throw away just because it doesn't
work. (I can't believe I just said that.) What I mean of course is that
someone, someday, might take up the torch if we leave it in, clearly noted
that it is non-functional at present.
