Well, any errant bits of the UI are open for improvement. For example, the 
viewer widgets (in the KPilot UI) are still hard-coded, and you sent a 
message some time back saying that the View menu needed to be far more 
explicitly visible in the UI. So there's work to be done there. And there's 
the generalized hex viewer (possibly stealing lots of code from khexedit) 
that needs to be designed and implemented.

Not immediately, no. And fortunately we can leave it to the distros to figure 
out how and upgrade action has to remove old crufty files (like the conduit 
executables and pilotListener).

Mmmmm, let me add something to the TODO:

* Document the NULL conduit in such a way that it is actually useable as a 
programming example

I'm afraid it's hard to think up small jobs right now (maybe some niftiness 
in the current viewers) since the big jobs are conduits and they've not 
really settled down into a state that I can say "this is the API, use it".
