I really don't understand how manual fixup is any easier.  If you use a
helper class, especially if the api is just a sed job from what the
eventual helper class is going to be, the fixup is easy, whereas if you
do it manually, you have to go through and change every instance where
you use a dialog.

So, I really believe that a custom class would be better than manual
fixup.  However, as you point out, even better would be to have it in
egg so that everyone can copy it out of there.  Does either team have a
problem with this?
