[Cuis-dev] Converting Tonel packages

[Dale Henrichs]

I've been following this particular issue and would prefer not to get 
into an email-based discussion of why tonel/filetree came to be and 
their relative disadvantages and advantages ...

However, I will be at ESUG in Cologne and would love to have a 
discussion (at a whiteboard) with one or more members of the Cuis 
community to talk things over and see if there is any common ground to 
be found ...
