Ah, you see .. ciaranm didn't tell me about that .. you know, i was just 
following orders ;)

Yep, I've read up on elibs.  Speaking with johnm about it, this was sort of an 
extension thereto .. kinda.  Perhaps a s/eclass/elib/ is in order, since the 
only real difference is a function call.  Either way, package/category-local 
'ethings' would be cool. :)
