It's only easy for me to do this because of the way my extension is 
designed. I generally declare any variables that get used throughout an 
entire extension at the beginning, such as the pid for records -- so if 
I want to change the method for getting the pid, all I have to do is 
change a few lines in one class. This might not be the case for all 
extensions, however, since they may not take the same approach that I 
do. I would say that in most cases, it shouldn't be difficult for a 
well-designed extension to be programmed to use either the starting 
point or the GRSP.
