Yes please experiment.  It might be that we can't get all the way but
to it very useful to know just how far along the route to getting
things working out of the box as simply as possible for end users.

Would it be possible to get the copy to happen automatically?  Would
debugging etc still work fine after copy?

Thanks for your efforts,
Robert.
