True. I can do simple C-stuff, and I can tinker around even, until I get 
stuff to compile. But as soon as it gets above beginner level, things get 
murky.

Fortunately Eduardom, the current maintainer, is very approachable and 
even answers here in the news group. So on more than one occasion he has 
helped me with a patch and advice. That in itself, is worth its weight in 
gold!
