Jon,

I stand corrected.  Is there any information anywhere of how to get it
working?  I am using 8.0.5 with 4.8.3 and it doesn't work out of the
box.  The install doesn't complete - you get some errors about a table
import (country I believe) and then when you try to load up the country
table manually, you can get into demo store and select items, but if
you try to check out, the ic engine hangs and absolutely nothing works.

	-Jon
