I agree about the position that Thomas has taken.  Also I find Ryan B's (Gambit
Fruit) position quite classy and he is under no illusions about the importance
of the Fruit code to his engine.  This is how it should be done.


From the readme:

"Clean up my bugs added to Fabians great code.  Thank you to Fabian for Fruit
2.1, Thomas for Toga, and to Bryan Hofmann for the window compile. "


What is the difficulty in recognising that Fruit was the structure within which
other persons removed a beam here or a wall there?
