BTW, what does KernelDeploymentDeployer actually *do*? Keeping in mind that, as of last time I checked anyway, I have been unable to find any documentation anywhere that explains in regular-person language what the difference and relationship between a KernelDeployment, DeploymentUnit, and BeanMetaData instance really is. I've figured out BeanMetaData by trial and error, but I still don't quite understand the role of the other bits.
