With the help of toolbelt to generate fragments for message bases
(convertmsgna) it was a bit easier, but still a lot of work to set up
lots of message bases.

Seems like every single net has a different format for the file.na file
which was a bit of a pain.

I don't know if a gui would be quicker or not, I'd prefer to do a QT
based gui, but thats no good for headless linux setups.

Cool! I'm not sure anyones really used that feature yet, so if you
encounter any bugs let me know.

Cool, I haven't changed a lot with lua scripting, so not suprised, but
pleased it works :)
