[developers] [pet] Whoa, missed someting, sorry

that would be my suggestion, too. Having an MRS postprocessor as a 
separate binary (maybe built with ecl or sbcl) that serves the needs of 
the MRS consumers would be much nicer than having to integrate it 
tightly with PET.

thank you for volunteering!
