I just sent the following reply to Ben Waldron, who initiated this spr
(I assume he's a colleague of yours?).

Hi Ben,

Sorry for not replying earlier.  I just returned from my vacation and
am still catching up with my emails.

At the moment I don't need any more information, thanks.  I did some
research for this in July, and hope to start 'real work' on it next
week.  But it's not an easy problem, and I expect it will take a
month or so to come up with a decent solution.  If you need something
sooner than that, please let me know: I may be able to come up with
a partial solution if really necessary.
