This is actually very true.  If someone offered me $50K tomorrow to
fund SMP development then I'd probably ask them to simply approach
Steve Passe directly and save me the extra (*lots* of extra!)
paperwork involved.  As long as the worker is paid and the work is
done, who cares who signs the checks?  Well, I care because I'm the
one who'd have to sign them if it were me, but I mean in the
abstract. :-)
