I think what I'll probably do at this point is wade through the 2.2 new
stuff tutorials and docs, play with some concepts, and possibly do an
"experimental" branch of MK. If my experimental branch turns out to be
partly or wholly useful, we can tackle integration piecemeal down the
road.

That way, I can concentrate first and foremost on the features I need for
the Monkey, and defer any sort of compatibility until after I've worked
out the ideological and technical kinks :)

And if Python 3.0 comes out in the meantime, I can migrate it before it's
integrated into the mainline :)
