Thanks back. BTW - I owe a lot to Dan Price and the OpenSolaris folks
for working out this code review server scheme - what I did was take
their layout and hook it up with our db.ojn server and authentication
scheme. After we got a bunch of Legal approval and other
non-programming issues settled...

Yes, I will make that information more prominent on the page later
tonight. Jessie (Jean-Christophe Collet) has been doing good work on
the webrev script lately, so you probably want to be running the latest

Good idea, and not so hard to set up. Does anyone else have an opinion
on this feature? I will work on getting this up later this week.
Thanks for the feedback-
