Oops. 3.15 will never see the light of day; I didn't realize I still
had its demo up on the system.

Because I am only one person, and because 4.0 is my highest priority,
I can never clean up 3.15 to be what I consider production quality.
It became obvious that bringing in the new Perl programming structure
was ridiculous under the old structure.

It really only depends on two routines, main::add_items and
Vend::Order::onfly.  Those are in the 3.15 beta and could easily be
incorporated in 3.14 by some enterprising person. But that will not be me.
