The project it's needed for is a major from-the-group-up rewrite of a 
hefty feature set (it's the focus of my Bionic App session coming up at 
RevCon West), so there's several weeks before the tree control will 
become critical, and plenty to keep me busy in the meantime.

If your tree control has what this client needs I'll happily provide 
testing and feedback, and if we go with it in the product we'll happily 
make at least a modest monetary contribution to the project.  I like the 
clean karma of giving value for value received.

Happy scripting, and keep that PayPal account active. :)
