I'm thinking about commiting the exisiting code without much trappings
into CVS ... and sort of 'forgetting' to put in the FlowAnalysis from
the ILNode_MethodDeclaration ...

I think ajmitch has still not gotten the hang of ReduceOperator ...
So I'll fix it after I wake up .. (yeah , I'm sleeping now)..

At least ... report them :-)

He's almost done as the past 7 mails thunked between us ... touching 
up the final peices of DateTimeFormatter ... He's really come on with
a nice peice of code there ...

David Dawkins is onto the Path.cs to fix the last missing function
GetExtension ...

I'm dropping flow analysis where it lies to fix up Directory.
GetCurrentDirectory == getcwd wrapper and SetCurrentDirectory ==
chdir wrapper ....

After doing that ... I'll move onto System.Net and finish up the 
Proxies .. After which I'll dig deep into dotgnu.xml ...

And there ends a month of happy hacking for me ...
