Woot!  Thanks, for the encouragement.  I did upgrade to 3.7 - *much*
nicer.  But I had problem getting Package Loader to work  -
UUIDGenerator's makeUnixSeed was having problems reading /dev/urandom,
though /dev/urandom was fine.  Goran Krampe found it suggested
commenting out the firat two lines of makeUnixSeed, and evrything
clicked into place!

After further reading, I can see that this indeed an issue, and a very,
very tough one.  But well worth licking and it seems that people are
starting to come to grips with it.  Yay!
