[kepler-users] internally connect actor

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Bertram,
I think Man-Kit took the approach of dragging in attributes that
contain solvers and analyzers that do the right thing.

I think a model can really have only one active director.  One
may drag in multiple directors, but only the last directory is
active.
