this way (I hope) - particularly if a chunk of the work is already
done :-)

	Right; I wonder if we can make it compile with 2.5 and 3.0, IIRC the
embedding behaviour of 3.0 is significantly better.

	Great; when you do plan to start work Andrzej ? there is no doubt
plenty of fun to be had, and that's before the HSQLDB migration piece
gets underway. [ oh, and the unit test creation ;-) ]

	ATB !
