Wow pretty slick, thanks!  I know everyone wants the D community 
to be larger, but there are some advantages to a tight group.  
Heck, I just got help on a ground support project from my 
favorite computer textbook author.  Outstanding!

As soon as I get back around to working on that project again 
I'll try out alid.  Neck deep in another sprint right now which 
depends on dpq2.
