#Make it yours

maint uses step for flow control. Feel free to modify the stack or insert your own. This needs lots of improvement, and I'm looking into migrating to resistance for flow control in the near future. Also, I'd like to come up with a good way to simplify the commands and configuration. If you have any ideas, feel free to let me know or just send a pull request.
