Sorry, in a way we are looking for a release schedule or at least
figure out the plan for olive as we have stuff in there and depend on
another dll.  Because of these our release schedule/time table is
completely dependent on what happens to olive.

We also have 3 dlls in there.
UIAutomationProvider.dll
UIAutomationTypes.dll
UIAutomationBridge.dll
