That is a possibility. However, JSL is currently only at 0.20. Has 
anyone decided what other features JSL needs before it is 1.0?

Well, I can either do this myself (and it would take me about 30 
minutes), or I can write for you a step-by-step HOWTO on doing it.

The first step, however, is *deciding* where everything should go. 
Starting with "org.jsynthlib", I suppose, we should probably start with 
deciding which *packages* there should be, and then decide which 
classes/interfaces belong in each one.

Yes. I can push for this.

XML can store binary values. So, I'd prefer to see *all* XML for JSL's 
default files, with import/export capability for sysex.
