Whoa!  I missed that part...patched into LFS?  HOW!?!?!?!?  It 
definately needs to be a complete book of it's own.  Patching into LFS 
is a never ending moving target.  Follow LFS yes..for starters, but 
patched into LFS is a terrible mistake and a maintenence nightmare.  I 
tried to take it away (unknowingly) from that direction.
