DANGER WILL ROBINSON! DANGER! DANGER!

OSGI is a colossal time sink that only looks simple; but really,
really isn't. I have learned this the hard way. It is poorly
documented, and virtually untestable. It is like Maven on PCP.

Please don't succumb to the temptation to make a few more changes just
to support OSGI. If you want to support OSGI (which I'm finding to be
a lot more trouble than it's worth over in XOM) then please do it in
1.1.2 rather than holding 1.1.1 for it. There are critical bug fixes
in 1.1.1 that are useful without OSGI support.
