Yes, and please update and add the wiki the documentation so that others
can learn from your process.

Hi James, the greatest thing to do if not committing code to fix this is
to file a bug at: http://sf.net/projects/cctools 

Make sure to make the bug for cchost too btw.

With regards to the wiki, you have everything you need to add this
up...I need to reorganize the cchost page to be much more user friendly
IMO...I did this to http://wiki.creativecommons.org/salon and ppl. have
been able to find info easier.
