Hello Brock,

Just a status update:
I examined your patches and their consequences and they are of course
correct.
What just happened is that your fixes inspired me to take a deeeeper look
into
surrounding classes and then I found myself refactoring most of the
IResourceVariant
classes and the way sync infos are constructed.
I expect I might get finished by this weekend.

The expected result is again some increase in performance and maybe also
some behavioural improvement.
It's a bigger stuff, so I might need your help with testing then ...

Regards,
Martin
