replacing T2k will take months of hard effort but that is mostly behind 
us so its more like a few weeks
of effort .. and some inevitable build cycle time lag.
 
Time is the cruch matter. Getting these bits out has been tight

And its more legally complicated too .. suppose we can't reship the 
binaries except as part of Java ..
not sure of the answer to that but putting out the plug directory 
separately means more work for
legal and that is a bigger bottleneck than might be apparent.
