Heh, the way things are going these days, I might need to patent it in
self-defense...
I'm going to release it after I have a few more tools...currently, I
have a viewer and converters to/from PNG, I plan to write converters
to/from some other HDRI formats. At the very least, I need to implement
grayscale and some kind of PNG meta-data tag to identify the FNG files
as such.
