When I had last looked into (it's been a while back), it seemed that applications pretty much needed to be built from the bottom up using the framework. Is that your impression as well?

Yes, I think there would be a lot of re-writing if you used Mere Mortals. But if you are going to go n-tier and let the customer choose between VFP and SQL Server as their data store, aren't you going to be doing a lot of re-writing anyway?
