Our hope over the past couple of years is that such a solution can
satisfy all Quills users at some point.  Tim had the foresight some
time last year to split this out into a separate product so that he
could get some code down. :)

As I wrestle with a COREBlog2 migration, I actually wonder if it would
make more sense to turn this into a QuillsEnabled folder.  It's just a
custom ATBTreeFolder, so it might not be much trouble to write a
migration to a standard ATCT.  I don't think we care at all if the old
entries are migrated to any other type, as long as everything is
Quills going forward, though I guess this would make discussion
awkward.  Would be pretty easy to template these as "archived posts".

Speaking of which, I am actively working to revive the COREBlog2
migration - any thoughts on it are welcome.  I am thinking of making
some sort of configlet that will find SimpleBlog and COREBlog
instances and Quillsify them.  External Methods are for the birds.
Help, guidance, or pointers at useful examples would be much
appreciated.

I'll probably put this in a separate product so that I don't further
complicate the branching story for Tim's towards-1.7 and the current
trunk maintenance work.
