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.
