Thanks - but one thing to be aware of here is that Monticello already  
had its own ToolBuilder-like abstraction (MCTool), and so wasn't a  
very usual port: instead of using ToolBuilder directly, I wrote an  
adapter from MCTool to ToolBuilder.  All the levels of indirection  
there might be somewhat confusing.
