Hi Jordan, Hi Stephan,

It looks like both of you have recently implemented ipcalc.  I
like what Jordan has done with shrinking the code, but his
version is not as full featured as Stephan's is.  Could you 
two get together, decide on a final feature set, merge the
applets as needed, and then re-submit the result?  Thanks!
