The latest status is that I'm waiting for someone out there to try the
patch and write in with their constructive feedback.  No one has
responded to my call as of yet, unless I missed it.  I'll get around to
reviewing it myself at some point and doing some sanity testing
experimentation, but I'd really prefer someone who plans to use this
builder-factory functionality on a *real* project to try out the patch
and its approach and see if it satisfies their needs.  Once the patch
gets a review, I'll pop its integration to the top of my stack.

So John, care to give the patch a test?  Maybe while you're at it bring
it up to date with the latest code?
