The WISHLIST file (from the latest version, e.g. 2.2a1) is the
closest there is to a loosely prioritized list.  As i started
work on 2.2, i also kept a second more obscure list of things
i want/need to deal with to get to a proper release.

The major goals for 2.2 are:

* full RRDtool 1.2 support (done w/ 2.2a1)
* Dashboard style display for templates & dashboards
  (e.g. multiple base selections)
* Trending display (same graph at various dates). (may be)

Minor issues i'm struggling with:
* Whether to oblige David Nolan with his request for easy
  access to a bit/byte conversion.
  See http://web.taranis.org/pipermail/drraw-users/2006q3/000003.html
  -> Currently leaning against doing anything because i cannot
     find any elegant solution.
* How to fit in a transparency field
  See http://web.taranis.org/pipermail/drraw-users/2006q3/000013.html

Blocking on both of the above because i have grown to hate the
editor, and how big/unwieldy it's become.  I have a 1600x1200
screen (well, 2), so it isn't too bad for me, but is this typical?

* How to integrate the color patch from David Nolan
* Additional GPRINTs for VDEFs (just one really, easy?)
  -> i forget what this exactly is :)
