Sorry Mike having run an opensource project about 10000 times bigger
than M0n0wall I have to actually totally disagree. People on this list
already sponsor and will continue to sponsor Manuel but please get more
of a clue before addressing a topic you don't totally have a handle on.

No-one is asking Manuel to "do" anything. The beauty of opensource is
people like me can pick "needs" up, write the code and then contribute
it - thats how the community works. At least it has since 1996 when I
started writing opensource projects.
