Do you mean other threads in the mail archive besides this one? I have searched
but did not find related topics. I have seen threads on conditionally loading
classes in MyApp, and sharing components between apps, but not in the way I am

I'd be happy to help with 5.80 instead of going my proposed route if 5.80 is
already far enough along that it'll see a release in the next 6mos. (Sort of
