Yes, I originally set my system up using it and used it a few times
since. I don't currently have it anymore (though I could build it from
the source tree I guess). I found it didn't quite offer the level of
control I was after either. Perhaps just the slice and label editor out
of it would be close to what I want, but it seemed to be doing a bit
more hand holding than I wanted it to.
