we have found adding library level namespaces + statics help clean up code 
extensively.  as OO dogma around us leads us to put everything in a class we 
tend to have a few extra methods that dont fit anywhere....  there is a 
tendency to put these in a utility class.  we have found its just as easy 
(and remarkably clean) to put them in a namespace, and leave them as static.
