Are the following two statements true?

1) This derby.exe program would be useful to Windows users, not to other users
2) This derby.exe program can be used with any release of Derby (that is, we
don't have to modify the NetworkServerControl class to enable it to be run as
a service by Derby.exe).

If both the above statements are true, then it occurs to me that it might be
nice to be able to distribute this new program separately, rather than as
part of the basic Derby release.

That way users could decide whether or not to download this program, and we
also could release this program independently of releasing the basic Derby
software.

thanks,

bryan
