Which is why I made the rewrite code able to run from the checkout fully
and properly.  Just cd into the directory, run "source ./testpath" and
it's will run completely from the checkout.

I don't want to discourage others either.  It is just much better to
encourage some help on the rewrite in my opinion.  Especially since
patches 2 & 3 have already been done in the rewrite branch.  Some of
patch 4 might have been done already, but likely not all.  If the
rewrite is to take over from the master branch...

The rewrite is not far from being able to take over as master.  There
are a few rebase errors in the rewrite-on-master you did.  There is some
cleanup work to do on the autoresume operation.  Then a little more
testing with the tree defaults relocated to ensure I haven't missed any
hard coding.

The default tree location move is waiting on the catalyst rewrite code
to go live producing stages, etc..
