Trying to get MCP working

[Glenn Steen]

Sorry to be a bit terse, tapping mails on my Aino is a bit of a pain.
MCP should work just fine, but it is inefficient since it requires
another instance of SA.
If Julian had thought of the rule hit thing, I don't think he'd done
MCP at all.;-)
It is the future, so why not move on to that? Once you've switched,
you'll not look back:-D.
