That's on the schedule for getting done Very Soon Now.  I have been 
blocking on getting the new cygnal code base to "hello, world" 
status.  I'll let Rob override this, if he wants.

I have a project file now, but it's very much not ready for prime 
time.  Expect something that basically works in the round of work I 
mentioned above.

Rob and I have discussed this.  As I recall our consensus, we won't be 
doing this.  Dual shipment (with attendant version skew) is a worse hazard 
than the effort getting dependencies installed.
