Thanks Matthew.  I didn't notice that was added back in March.  Very cool.

I'm going to read through the source before trying since I see that 
Andreas sent out an email on 4/12 on the OE list pointing out a few 
problems he had.

I'll report back if I get good results or not.  I have been working from 
the same build directory for a couple of months from the master branch, 
so my build dir should be a decent test case.

Thanks again,

Bob
