As usual, due to workload (gotta pay the bills ;-) I am waaay behind  
on Solar email.

Glad that you came back to them.  It's always good to explore other  
ideas and then take from them what you like.

Having said that, I've been watching your messages concerning the  
Dispatcher/Router class, and I'm starting to think that mode of  
operation is a better or more flexible way to go than the current  
Solar_Controller_Front.  I'll review more in-depth later.

Thanks for all your research and development efforts, and your good  
reporting.  :-)
