Great work Keith.  If the password thing gets fixed, then it sounds good.  
Team work is a good thing, but Monticello has had some of these problems for 
quite a while with nothing done about it (afaik).  At some point it's time 
to stop talking and start doing, with or without the team.  Good job taking 
that step, I hope dev-image adopts your Monticello (when it's safe at least 
:).
