I like the dynamic stuff they added this spring (dynamock) as opposed to 
the initial cut last fall.

I have the bandwidth for smaller contributions to Spring; my gut feel is 
that upgrading the mock libraries is going to touch a bunch of code 
however, and by the nature of the work needs to be done in one shot 
since you can't runw ith both versions of the libs. I probably won't 
have that much free time in one sitting for a while. However I'm going 
to take a look and see if the changes are not that big...
