If it stimulates you into doing this then I'm all for it, but I've  
waited on getting this fixed long enough I decided to take it on  
myself to work on it, using the simplest ones.  You had mentioned  
several times you would do this and I hadn't seen any progress.  The  
point: I would really like to get another point release out before we  
work on splitting things up.  Simple as that.

 From what I have seen (with my few tests) everything (modules,  
scripts) gets copied into blib just fine and the temp folder for  
script generation gets cleaned up; I haven't progressed beyond to the  
installation step, but there isn't anything to me that indicates it  
wouldn't work.

I won't be available until Wed. at the earliest for additional comment  
(out of town, no internet connection).
