Yes, having it already in mainline would have been nice (and would be
nice in the future). But, I'm also kind of enjoying trying to sort all
this out. It's forcing me to learn new things. If any of you is an
engineer, you probably know that, sometimes, having a problem to solve
is fun (when you have the luxury of time).
Anyways, I'll keep plugging along... :)
Thanks,
Dan
