Again, thanks.  I was hoping not to have to write dual implementations beyond a
server API layer, but I might have to - or not use XSL at this time  :( and wait
for more tools to be written (no time to do this ourselves - hint, hint, we're
willing to pay...).

A good idea, unfortunately our x-plat support is based on our clients'
configuration (they will maintain the servers), so we can't rely on them using
NT.

We're just slicing ourselves open on this bleeding edge.  ;)
