Hey Gary, I just wanted to tell me how in 1.5 all these sort of
functions are built right into Joomla...

*rimshot*

Ok seriously - even in the 1.0 series there are SEF extensions that
provide the means for you to define an arbitrary URL scheme that gets
translated into internal gobbledygook (index.php?blah=1&foo=bar)...

I don't understand what you're missing, or what you're trying to do
that these cannot accomplish. Am I missing something?
