All that is for a TODO list.  What I did was rebase my existing changes,
merging fixes to the commits that made the change..., fix the commit
messages, etc...

Same with the other things you listed below, mostly for a TODO and your
wishlist.  Pretty much all I agree with.


My aim for now is to debug the hell out of it, to stabilize all the
existing changes, BEFORE doing a ton more changes.  That will also give
me more experience in how catalyst is used, possibly ideas how to change
it for the better.  I'll fix the doc's generation and make a setup.py
and new 9999 ebuild.

Plus I need to focus more on another project needed for the git tree
migration.
