Nope... The shopping cart is really quite trivial. The more complicated
stuff is the product catalog on one side of the shopping cart and the order
form on the other side. Unfortunately, due to a tight timeline in bringing
the stuff up in the first place, the two big parts are pretty heavily tied
to Byproducts.com. Future versions will be less-and-less Byproducts centric.
If ZCommerce doesn't get anywhere before I've completely decoupled the code
and the site, I'll release something then...
