Dave,

The Commercial page is a page of tools, by content.

Parts of it, at least, were copied from the old techdocs.  I know because I 
wrote some of the text, and recognize my own writing.  

My point with this page is that many parts of it are out of date, and the 
subject matter is diverse enough that it needs to be in a part of our site 
which is under a CMS rather than WWW-rights and CVS-based so that more of 
the community can keep it up to date.

Sounds good to me.  We still need to make it obvious from the downloads 
page, though, to cut down on the "where is the C++ driver" type questions.  
But we could do that by topic rather than individually, e.g. "A list of 
Drivers is <link>here</link>"
