  23. Oh I agree - unfortunately since it does still have an entry point you can't
  24. really tell if it's a toolkit bug (no documentation/header) or if it is
  25. truly outdated and just kept around for compatibility.  I think I'd vote
  26. the latter since there really isn't any mention of it that I can find.
