Dongle

Could somebody tell me what Dongle is exactly? I see more and more addon developers using this framework (instead of Ace2) but I've only found only this link without download possibilities or any further information. Is this little tool only used by exclusive mod authors like Cladhaire, Tekkub, and haste, or simply I'm too fool to find the link? (I'm not really familiar with Google Code..)
Thanks for the answers in advance, and a big /respect to the above mentioned guys/gals for your work in the addon development community =)

I'll work on getting some more information up on wowwiki, but its a small addon framework that tries to bring things back to the simplicity of the original Ace framework, just the things that most/every addon needs to operate, to make development a bit faster.

Dongle is a very minimal addon development framework. It's still in beta, and since I'm sure clad is going to beat me to posting anyway, I'll let him tell you more.

Thank you very much for the quick answers! And a question, may I use it in my own addons or it is not allowed?

EDIT: Found the answer :p
