krysalis-version and AspectJ

Hi Everyone,

I was looking at AspectJ and playing with some samples. It is an interesting 
concept and seemed like Version will be able to use it.

If a developer wishes to make an existing class "Versionable" - then it can 
be achieved by a simple aspect that can make that class implement the 
"Versionable class" and introduce the version and the getVersion / 
setVersion methods.

I tried a sample and added it to the CVS under src\optional dir. I also 
added the class dir which had the aspectJ compiled "VersionGridView" class. 
If you decompile, you should be able to see that the apect has introduced 
those methods.

The problem I see with this is -- People who are familiar with aspectJ can 
only use it -- but it could be an additional package.

Comments / Suggestions please.

regards,
-Anou
