If a big-production version is possible, anyone trying to get the
small-production version will find it.  I'm assuming they wouldn't
be mean enough to keep it to themselves.  :)

However, I tentatively (subject to board approval, which I won't
request unless it comes up, but expect to get) offer $100 for a
mass-production CFG for Lojban.
