I don't mind if a few trusted people have it, perhaps some of those most involved in Freestars.

I'd be fine with that - I've just been out of circulation for too long to know who these people are. Any pointers? Or shall I just send what I have to you and you take it from there?
If there is active interest, then I too am interested in continuing to work on it, as and when I have the time; various circumstances indicate (not certainly yet though) that my time may be much more available again soon (in roughly 2 weeks, say)...

About x-file filtering/sanitizing: what about releasing the checks that already are done/work? At least as some kind of semi-public beta-test?

Releasing the code is problematic... releasing any small part more or less requires releasing the decryiption part, and the decryption is the "hard" part; working out what the clear-text bits and bytes mean is a lot of leg-work after that, but its not "difficult".
I currently have no reasonable option for putting up a webservice in a similar way to the way I did it in the past for the race file checker, as I run my own webpages on external hosting now (and for the last 4 months or so), where I can't run native binaries ("just" PHP stuff... which is not - at least yet - sufficient for my decryption stuff).
Sorry if this is a little incoherent, I'm currently dual-tasking. I'll re-read my post later and potentially correct
