Ouch!  Thanks for the prompt reply.  I do need multi-selection.  I'm leery
of investing a bunch of work to try out alpha software, but GridViewer
extends AbstractTableViewer, which makes it at least somewhat
API-compatible with TableViewer.  Does Grid/GridViewer support all of the
current functionality of Table/TableViewer?  Would I need to rewrite my
content providers, label providers, or sort listeners?
