I asked, because I wanted to know, if there is a need to create such a 
Howto. Specially with regard to upcoming applications and developers who may 
want to know how to do this. If there is a framework for this, it is better 
to have a documentation on it as well. Otherwise we have to trouble Lars all 
the time :)

The question is only who will write this :) If someone helps, I will 
volunteer to write or gather the documentation.

Greetings,
Arash
