As you know, the original plan long ago was to release AIUtils as a  
separate library for the benefit of the Mac community.

However, the OS X & iPhone GPL open source community isn't really big  
enough to have need of that level of separation; simply having good  
documentation - as we do - and access to the source code is just fine,  
I think.  I'm no longer particularly interested in AIUtils being  
released as such, and as far as I see that's the only advantage to the  
separate project layout.

I vote go for it.

Cheers,
Evan
