well, I had assumed that for development, one could just install StatINC and
have that work, but I didn't actually try it. until now, that is, and yes,
it works...
so, you are desiring a StatINC like feature within Dispatch itself? sounds
like overkill to me - after all, you're in development, so stat()ing
everything shouldn't be a big deal...
