Very true.

Sorry. I didn't know that and just assumed Joerg had written all of
the demo project stuff.

You are absolutely correct. I totally dropped the ball on this. You
most definitely deserve mention in the acks. Your contribution was
significant and really helped us build momentum.

I take full responsibility for this oversight and wish to publicly
apologize.

Attached is the patch which I just committed to rectify this.
