At home today, as the gas man cometh.

Steve's completed the comparison between old/new approaches to link retrieval with a fine writeup at

http://www.fractalus.com/steve/tmp/xreftimings/index.html

and based on the results I'm happy to move ahead with integration into the client codebase. Steve's pressing ahead with that this afternoon. The new client won't be faster than the old one, but it won't be much slower either and we should be able to simplify the import process dramatically. We'll also get a more flexible client.

Ran a few test imports for Phil so that he can refine a dynamic table for the USA census data. Still trying to get Tomcat running in the OptimizeIt wrapper so we can monitor it remotely.

Amended the legacy entity mapping file so that the musical "natural" sign maps correctly.
