This pops up every once in a while; some people have done work on making
better partitioning schemes, but they never got rolled into the install
procedure.  I dunno why.

The TOC was something I posted a while back.  I was switching jobs at the
time, and was going to use the time betweeen jobs to work on it.
Unfortunately, that time got ursuped by other things :-(  I got a lot of
feedback on people interested in helping with it, but unfortunately starting
a new job sucked all the time away.

I still have all the stuff if people are interested in continuing it.
