Thanks for this nice informative blog, just wanted to point out the last link by Marcelo Lewin, took me to a weird web site, looks like a spam link to me.
Thanks

Sadly, I can't even find an old version of the page at archive.org, so unless he resolve the problem it may be gone to the ether. I'll leave it just in case he resolve the problem, though, and these comments can help any others who experience this. Thanks
