Re: .oafconfig file question?

[Archit Baweja <bighead crosswinds net>]

Oops! My question actually a very premature one. But still what I meant was
different as in old and the new version of same control?
But here is another one :-

In some .oafconfig files, first there is a <oaf_server> tag for the binary
of the factory, and a second one pointing to the first one with type="factory".
So whats the deal why can't directly have just one <oaf_server>. I think
I have not really expressed my question correctly, so have a look at the
following .oafconfig file from Jirka's Bonobo Control Tutorial Example.

Note: the 3 questions I have put as a comment in the middle of the file.
