Like the old Prego commercial used to say, "It's in there!(tm)"

Propertysheets aren't yet supported, thought, so without knowing what
you're trying to do I can't say it will work for you yet.

The parts that are thus written are fairly stable.  The parts we haven't
written yet are less so ;-)

I expect there to be some minor backwards incompatible changes
(LoginManager should really move out of the PTK dir as it's
independantly useful, for example). I think things are nailed down
enough at this point that you could certainly start prototyping based on
it, though.
