Sure, I am definately up for any challenge.  So basically what you are
saying is that not only do I have to adjust the databases accordingly
inside the SDK with the appropriate structures, but I also have to do a
re-index of the database in a NON-SDK environment.  Where can I find the
structures and the ways the wcrepair works?
