    Exactly so!  LoginManager is being developed as a separate Product,
which the PTK uses.  So, yes, it will be available for other uses.

    Stripped of their PortalContent ancestory, these objects are so
trivial they don't even warrent reuse.  Reverse engineering them as
ZClasses would take less time than trying to extract the Portal portions
of these versions.
