The main reason for segregating the code isn't about
solid: it's about getting it to build on every platform.

Current tuhopuu2 is able to build everywhere, but that
new ode is a bit nasty to build. I don't want to break
a lot of people's builds for this one feature. I also
don't have the time or machinery to get this working
on every platform so it's going to be up to the users
on each platform to do that.

So, for now I think it is best to segregate
the code, and we can merge it when we are pretty
sure each platform is taken care of.

Try again periodically. postgres seems to go down about once
a day (I had to restart it once last night).

I certainly have nothing against using other peoples
stuff ... it's just more fun when it's not a moving
target. ;)
