I've just noticed that one of the authors of BIMETS is Andrea Luciani, who
uses gretl, was very favourably inclined towards the project and would
probably help us out to some extent (not by writing any code, but by
giving us advice on what to do and how). If you decide to get started on
this, I can put the two of you in touch with one another.

Sven was interested in this some time ago, perhaps he still is.

No; the standard way in Hansl is to pack stuff into bundles and the write
functions that operate on them.
