That's correct, I just haven't gotten around to making sure both are
working yet!  I'm sure it does work, it's just a matter of nailing the
configuration.

No, actually this is VERY helpful.  It's CRITICAL to us to make sure
that pluto is:

1) Lightweight
2) Very Easy to Use

We've had a push lately to accomplish #2 but perhaps have forgotten #1

on nailing this lightweight configuration down near the begining of
next week.
