If you send the review to me, I'll make sure that either I or someone
else takes a look promptly.

Interesting; that doesn't seem to cause a major problem in practice. 
(The code runs.)  But, thank you; we'll take a look.

Yes, we've been adding features while removing cruft.  The next version
of QMTest has a much more uniform model of tests, resources, etc.; they
are all "extensions".  That's allowed us to remove a lot of code.

The DTML bits needed are still in the source tree; we've just
reengineered so that you need fewer of them.  That's simplified the
build and installation process.
