    Andrus,

    I submitted some extensions re. the naming stuff this weekend, see
    http://objectstyle.org/jira/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=CAY-457

    We would be happy to see this in the upcoming versions so we don't have to
    patch each version because we depend on this extension.

    Since I'm new to Cayenne commitment, I assume somebody having commit
    permission
    will check this in. In addition to the patch.txt changes, I added a ZIP
    archive w/ the new files (which weren't considered by cvs diff).
    There is also a readme.txt file in the archive desribing the new files and
    pointing to an issue I'm not sure of...

    Tobias: I also tried to address the naming relationship naming issue you
    brought up in your post.
    Was not as easy as I initially expected it to be. I'd be interested if this
    works for you.
