Hi Dick, Tony,

We have been looking through the code and the sweet design docs and have 
some ideas to extend the distributed lib system and build upon the sweet 
parser Dick is writing. There are some sketches that attempt to explain 
the ideas and the aim is to post them this week or early next for comment.

So if received well, we would appreciate any contribution/help/advice 
with the coding.

Simon
