In it's current state, I will not offer support for this code because it is essentially a quick and dirty query-replace hack without any quality testing (as is obvious from the fact that I just redefined the predefined \sbox macro). If it were part of the main distribution, someone would have to support it, and if that person is not me, then it will wind up being Hans, who has better things to do than support code that he has not even written. Hans and I will no doubt discuss this during EuroTeX. Perhaps the best way to distribute things like this would indeed be a separate file that contains all of the (known) optional stuff, with a large "no support provided" disclaimer. Perhaps...
