Hi Daniel, how's everyone :-)

Oh does it? Cool ... it was broken against a CVS snapshot I tried but
perhaps that was just a broken snapshot.....

The mapping document was specifically not generated ;)

Another issue is that the module should be updated to reflect our latest DTD
(hibernate-mapping-1.1.dtd) which is not a big job, I'm certain.

Ara will accept the Hibernate module into their codebase but we would need
to maintain it ourselves with *no* CVS access (at least initially). I would
much prefer it to live in their CVS repository but I am unwilling to
maintain the code myself using patches. I am very keen for this code to find
itself an "owner" since I have enough on my plate with the persistence
engine. The rest of our toolset was created and is being mainly maintained
by other people and I would like to see the same happen here.
