Well, I will work on this more tomorrow. Have an early day coming up.
The plugin is close to complete. If i would just settle to say some
things have to be added after generation, then it could be done, but I am
stubborn. Maybe that is what I do for a 1.0 release, then work on getting
it better for 1.1. We'll see. I will have something to post tomorrow
regardless.
Dion, thanks for all the help...
