The big/small step portions weren't intended to imply anything but the
minute vs. 1/2 second interval operations. The work on Gigabeat S uses them
for entirely different purposes and they're contained in a taget-specific
file. I know it's not in SVN yet but the framework in place is intended for
greater purpose. Removing that would probably mean it will get reintroduced
anyway in some manner.

Yeah, I've been out of the loop for awhile but I had to take a different
path out of nescessity and I'm sure I'll meet back up soon. Nothing bad--
just imperative.
