Thanks for this Neil.  Can I assume this code is also under the GPL?
(BTW, I couldn't find any licensing materials in the YHC source repos; you'll 
probably want to tighten that up).

In that case I may see if I can move this code in that direction.  I have the 
idea that it would be nice to automaticly derive interfaces and serialization 
code from the xml structure found in the YHC source, and use Eternal 
Compatibility in Theory to maintain compatibility across bytecode versions.
