Rick --
That's a really slick way to handle this problem!  I'm going to have to
give that a try.  That makes my day.

So -- any similarly slick ideas on how to handle the "I want to add a
local migration without getting stomped by the upstream" issue I was
jabbering about at the beginning?

Thanks,
Rick
