I generally agree that my rewrite should become the master branch, but
it could live in a side branch for a while longer, there are many more
changes needed to clean up the code.  It is likely to be broken at times
some commits by themselves won't be complete, etc...

I tried using git to send this patch, but it did not work.  I'll look
into how to make it work with email.

But I do question the need to send all patches to this list for review.
Take this patch email for instance.  It was primarily for the last
commit I did to fix the update_seed methods which I found not working
correctly. I also mentioned I had rebased all my other work, condensing
where it made sense...

 Do you see any code suggestions, questions and/or comments in regards
to it... NO

All mails in this thread are about everything else :/

I will continue to spam the list with all my rebased commits, which I
intended to do when I had more time.  I sent this one off this morning
before I went to work.  I know Jorge was interested in the changes.  I'm
back now, so will manually prepare more patch mails.
