Those of you that browse the XDA-developers forum have for sure heard of Brut.All. First time I heard of him was when he modified the Google Maps application so that Navigation was also possible outside of the United States.
I guess modifying apps like that brought him the idea of writing a tool that was able to do this.
Development on this tool seem to have really started in the beginning of March, that’s when it first appeared on XDA-developers forum and he also created a project on Google Code.
