I would like to see 1000 modules complete by year's end.  We're about
740 modules from that goal right now.  Between everything in OLB and
everything on CCEL, I think we've got a signifigant body of works to
import.

It's not that huge, in terms of the library.  :)  It's huge in terms of
utility and user experience, but it uses such a similar API to our other
classes that some utilities written for RawText & the other drivers
still work for RawGenBook.
