Thanks.  I actually thought about this for about 10 minutes but
couldn't come up with a sentence that fit.  I *knew* someone was going
to bite me with this.

I have, and I'm more than willing.  The problem is that I need to
preserve the integrity of EFS as a separate package that runs in
vanilla Emacs 19 (and 18 in all probability).  I also need the time to 
do this.
