I think it's completely logical to ask, if someone already has 
the 'magic' recipe, before I go off experimenting myself ;-)

Of course, I don't expect that anyone actually has it.

I do expect to spend a lot of time on this myself. But that is 
worthwhile, if what I end up with, is a recipe I can give to 
others, that will also result in what the recipe says it makes.. 
guaranteed.

Again. I do NOT want to start with an existing system with god 
knows what on it that would cause god knows what problem with god 
knows what part of the process.
