I thought that the last time this subject came up, the consensus was 
that Jason's code should go into the cinstall area (now, of course, that 
means the setup repository).  The standalone rebase.exe should be built 
within that project, along with setup.exe which would leverage the same 
code.

That way, there's no possibility that the two programs would get 
out-of-sync with respect to the /etc/rebase.conf (?) information and 
file format.
