Yes, I've talked to Asa about merging this machine learning code into 
pyml, and he seemed open to the idea.  However, it looked like it would 
be a bit of work to port things over to the pyml style of doing things. 
  OTOH, it's still a bit of work getting the code documented up to the 
point where it is generally useful...
