There's no overlap between the two: Eric's library concentrate on
data-processing, Paul and mine's on the tests you do once you have the
results from that processing. The obvious thing at some point in the future
is a "bridge" between the two that let's you do the tests straight from the
raw data. In other words these two libraries are each building blocks upon
which higher level libraries can be built.

John.
