Considering I so far have spent;
        4 hours trying to understand Avalon & Phoenix concepts.
        1 day applying that knowledge into a functional SAR
        1 day to get the existing application running
it is not bad at all. Very happy with the Avalon project, IMHO the best 
structured (code-wise) OSS project I have ever seen. I will enjoy this.

I have just managed to apply a ProductDir via the BlockContext (thanks Paul) 
and have migrated the previous projects.list (textfile) into the config.xml 
instead (Well balanced config system I must say).
Also, manage to make the old service loader functional inside Avalon (for 
compatibility), and refactored and an ancient ugly static class, which is 
center for a lot of activity, from >2000 lines to about 30, without breaking 
compatibility.

Things are moving very smoothly, and I think the first phase (got the whole 
old app to run inside Phoenix) will be completed by Monday.

Second phase, will be the Avalonization of existing pieces. That will probably 
take quite a long time (>500 of them I think)...
