I am certainly not against including new features in gretl, but given
the scarce resources, maybe Jack and you should think of a policy that
determines when a new feature should be implemented via the great new
function package mechanism (i.e. doable by many others), and when it has
to be coded (in C) in gretl itself (i.e. Allin or Jack have to do it).

<Shameless plug:> Of course, allowing shell commands in functions would
greatly expand the scope of function packages by using existing
algorithms in R etc. But it sounded like I already got your "okay" on
that...
