I was mistaken in regard to Ben's having lashed together nsxml. As I mentioned in e-mail the only real maintenance issue is probably eventually migrating to Tcl Objects once OpenNSD dumps Tcl 7.6.
Ben's offered to move the XML APM install parse to nsxml once things settle down (only one routine and the parse is simple).
So that will just leave the Oracle Java bit, which I'd like to replace for both Oracle and PG in order to avoid duplicating sources.
