scheme so that everything needed for a directive can be easily packaged in a
single source file.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

build cycles, the "barrier to entry" goes way, way up.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>I could live with, say, a 2-file approach based on a naming
convention for identifying test case to go with a directive; might even be
better than trying to bundle it all in one file, I do like having some
separation of tests from deliverables. Separate but equal - tests come
alongside, but they're not the thing itself.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>Sorry I haven't made much progress this week on the
directives infrastructure I got started on; been deep in a "zope black hole" all
week for my new client. Seeing some light in the tunnel though, so hoping
for a break to get back to the fun rails stuff within a day or two. It'll
be a masterview w/e out here on the coast. (and hey, paying work after a
rather long slow period ain't so bad, I'm not complaining!)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
