Hi Tom, been a long time!

Never quite sat well with me that ORPG development just kinda fizzled, especially
considering how it fizzled. I recently pulled down the most recent versions of both 
OpenRPG (1.8) and Traipse to see how much the 'new fork' had advanced over the original
thinking I might merge beneficial changes from Traipse back into OpenRPG. I scoured over
a couple dozen diffs of key files and was generally disappointed that most of the code 
changes seem cosmetic or at least functionally identical [aside from the mercurial-based 
auto-update code and a handful of minor tweaks]. Given the nice glitzy website Traipse is 
currently sporting I had hoped that more actual development had been done. 
C'est la vie (i.e. "Oh well"). 

That got me thinking about the ORPG2 java code I wrote again... figured if the project was
basically dead anyway I might as well put some wrench time in on my original java redesign
rather than squander it on trying to beat on that 'old nag' in python. 

I'll be honest with you guys, I'm kinda just working on this for myself more than anything
else. But it is open source of course, and I welcome the help. Guess that means I should 
probably start some documentation too.
