Sorry, Mario, I still didn't figure out your proposal. Could you explain
that better? Did you (or anybody else?) already did that? Maybe if I can
understand better looking at the code, if available...

In fact the idea is not mine. :) I read in previous post!

That would be great. In fact I have more ideas than time to test them. :)
Happy holday!
