Without the documentation that hasn't yet been written, I'm not sure
it would do anyone much good.

It shouldn't be much more than 2-3 time as much work as writing the
code to fetch the replication diffs properly.  That would also require
java and a lot of overhead I refuse to add to TRAPI.

I should have been clear that my lack of time was the primary reason I
stopped developing TRAPI.  Coupled with my not wanting to drop
everything for an immediate write of code for replication diffs, and
thinking that I might be able to get them fixed so they don't double
the number of files needed to be fetched, so I just stopped working on
TRAPI.

Due to my slow internet and systems, it would take me several weeks to
do a database import.
