  Hi,
 
  You're welcome to include UHC Tools with coffin! Go right ahead, the version on aminet simply connects to us and installs the latest version so it should always be the latest one! We are updating the included tools frequently so it's always good to run uhcupdate every now and then!

  This is a collection of programs and scripts for Amiga computers and their
  offsprings to simplify daily usage and make the Amiga more independent.

  How to install:
  ---------------
  - Run the included Installer, this package includes the minimum required
    files to get an installation going, the rest of the package will be
    downloaded over the internet.

Ah cool, I use UHC as well, The synergy client works surprisingly fairly well. Well Hopefully now I won't need to re-install it on future Coffin builds.

He didn't write that it will be included with Coffin, only that it could be.

That is 100% true, but having permission + having actively developed 68k software (which is a point of Coffin) = there is no reason NOT to include it with next release.

Hope maintainer will do it.
