Tres,

Jim has some ideas on how to make this all much simpler. Just the fact that 
you have to introduce the concept of tools is a dead chicken, since utilities 
should be enough. Once we have adapters we might rethink this, but I would 
think that adapters live in persistent modules, which are utilities in 
return. ;-)

If you are willing to work on this, I am willing to help you draft a proposal 
(so would Jim, I think).

Regards,
Stephan
