BTW, one of my personal experimental branches from last year I am currently 
brushing up to prepare a RR is about making the manifest writing happen 
automatically inside KoOdfWriteStore, so that knowledge is 
encapsulated/concentrated there and no client code needs to mess around with 
that any longer (meanwhile also found an API DOX note from David F. proposing 
to do that :) )

Hopefully will hit reviewboard the next WE or the one after.
