Cool.  However, you folks really have me miffed.  Here I am asking to
get one single class into VTK before 4.2 beta is cut and there you go
making a pretty big change (IMHO) before the freeze.  Why the double
standards?

Perhaps I should never ask anything on this list and should simply
make any change I wish directly to CVS and then tell everyone about it
once the deed is done.
