OK.  Thinking about it a little more clearly now, it is not necessary to
modify Whups yet.  In Hermes, you just select the new-style client and off
you go.

In the future, if Hermes is installed, I'd like the ability to enter a
number of hours when entering a comment in Whups and have that time and
the comment post to Hermes.  You would need this then, but it isn't an
immediate concern.

Patch? <g>  I'll definitely leave hooks and factor these concerns into
design, but I don't need it.
