Re: org.webmacro.lib

Sounds like some good stuff.  I'd suggest trying to group related 
utility functions together.  The date related functions might go into a 
DateTool.  (I've got one of those laying around somewhere.)  The 
generate could be added to the TextTool.  (I think there is already a 
formatDate there.)

We used to have a pretty strict process for getting things accepted into 
the core.  I don't know who wants to have a say anymore, but it might be 
good to just let us know what you are going to commit where before you 
do it, in case someone objects.

Thanks.
