OK.  I did this.  Now my checkout page simply never returns.  I finally
get some sort of timeout after several minutes.  Nothing ever comes back.
Where is chaining described?  It is mentioned in the manual, but I have no
clue how it works.

I get no errors on MV start up and the catalog and shopping cart pages
show up just fine.  I can start the whole process through secure sockets,
so that isn't the problem...

Best,
Kyle
