I am not sure how to isolate a fairly thorough rewrite of the Firewatir code
followed by merging that Firewatir code with IE Watir's code into one common
base. There really just aren't small changes that I can cherry-pick out of
that.
I understand that time is a limited resource, and reviewing these things is
something of a task. I was hoping that my changes would be worth the task,
due to the fact that I have fixed a lot of bugs, added a lot of features,
and consolidated a lot of redundant/repeated code.
It is looking more like that's not going to happen. Maybe it is more
appropriate that I fork a full project off from watir to release my work on
my own.
