Hi David,

Thanks for the reminder.  Yeah - I just downloaded this the other day and 
played with it.  I wish I had found this a long time ago because it looks 
very mature and I like it a lot.

My problem is - my *binary* pickles are now out in the wild and I need to 
support and deal with them...  I wonder if there is a way to apply your 
module-passing-on-load mechanisms to the standard Pickle module...hmmm.
