Yikes.. your job is to extend a piece of open source software, but
you're not allowed to look at any of it? I'm assuming your extension
will not be open source licensed then. Reminds me of lyrics from a song...

put up our walls" - "Aerials", System of a Down

Contributing nothing useful (yet again),
Jordan ;)
