Powerpill Reborn

After the death of Powerpill over a year and a half ago, it has finally been reborn. Those of you that follow this site and my forum posts 1 will have noticed various “powerpill-light” replacement scripts that never quite did the trick. Those have finally paved the way for the rebirth of Powerpill.

There is a brief history on the project page if you are interested.2
