Kim,

please tell me, if I misunderstood something:
You want to you use _all_ the same resources in OpenCMS [1] as in
OpenCMS [2], and not, mentioned as above, just a part of it, and this is
also the _only_ thing you want to be the same: the VFS.

Isn't it possible only to update the according DB tables of [2] as they
are in OpenCMS [2]? Or did I lose the plot? 

(Since I read "Am I breaking a fly on the wheel?" I fancy english
proverbs much more than german proverps)
