Good, I'll be building shortly.  In the meantime, I got some comments on my
question I'd asked separately about caching & round robin, so I'm investing some
time rereading a lot of old notes about the subject, so I can make more sense of
the answer I got.  I've never coded anything in the vague area of VM, and it
wouldn't bother me any if I could fix that lack.  I think I need to read, not
get tons of questions answered.

That's fantastic.  I'd like to know if it's likely that (at the level I'm
currently at) if I might be able to contribute anything.  Probably in either
case, I'd like to see what you changed, so I can see what kind of thing HAS to
change, and can review how it looks.  Could I get a look at it (is it somewhere
I can access, like maybe in the cvs archive?)
