Reading the documentation for ReSharper's "Extract Class From
Parameters" it doesn't quite seem like Extract Class from Fowler to
me.  Is that the one you used, or did you use something else?  I
looked at the 4.5 documentation on their web site.  I haven't used
this particular refactoring from ReSharper before.

That last bit is important for large manual refactorings.  When faced
with one of those, I definately think about how I can do things in a
series of steps, such as your suggestion of creating a new empty class
and moving methods one at a time.
