Wow, that was fast. I got the answer at the same time when my posting
came in.

Ah, right! I forgot that there is code which is not in a package. How
inconvenient! ;)

Hmm, wouldn't it be easy to convert the existing system categories to
Monticello packages. Then you could just reload any of them in case you
needed. I have to think about that. Probably I am again forgetting
something very basic. It's been a long day.
