I'm presenting it at Bay Area Scala Enthusiasts on Monday... although I've
written almost no new code... but I have a killer design in my head.  Expect
something working and marginally usable on Monday night (just before I leave
for LinkedIn).

Basically, I'm separating the field logic/flow logic from any UI.  This will
allow for automated testing of the wizards without a front end (and if you
trust the wizard state <-> UI translation, then there's no need to test the
stuff in a browser).

Interesting feature.  It brings up the whole serialization issue.  Marius
and I were chatting about that on Friday.  Maybe it'll be my mission post M8
to get serialization nailed.
