Hi Steve

Yeah after looking at the code, (near 20k lines of php). Id have to
agree, it is a complete rewrite. Which is a real shame.
  
Ok, on to more mundane things, i have put up koha-1.1.1.tar.gz on
sourceforge, not on www.koha.org yet and no release notes yet.

But I thought id tar it up and put it up there, just so that i tarred
it up and put it up there. (Ive been meaning to for ages)
 
So if anyone has time, if they can take a look, spot any big mistakes,
and then if its not too bad, ill do a general release.
Then we can start adding in our new marc code, and changing the
database structure etc.
  
I spent an afternoon with Monty Widenius (of mysql fame) last week,
talking about how to optimise mysql.
So I have a ton of ideas on how to speed up koha. So im keen to work
on that.
   
Hence i figured lets get 1.1.1 out so we can break stuff :-)
