the XML report still lacks certain data and will probably be rewritten some
day. But we are certainly interested in you patch.

tjx2gantt is orphant right now but we are certainly like to have a look. Can
you send me your changes and/or some sample eps files?

I guess that was a hack Remo put in so he didn't have to mess with hours,
minutes and seconds. TJ internally uses a resolution of 1 second for all time
data. The end of an interval is always the first second after the interval.

I could not find issues in the code that handles that. Can you send me a
little example project, so that I can have a closer look?

Please send it to me. I really like to have a look at it.
