the problem is that it needs to read the rules from rulesrc/sandbox/* --

rulesrc/core. Those rules, in turn, are the 3.2.0 core ruleset, which
doesn't mix well with (ie stomps all over) the 3.1.x core ruleset.
We could come up with a way to use the 3.2.0 core ruleset in place of
the 3.1.x one -- but I think the effort required would be too much, esp.
since it's easier to just concentrate on the 3.2.0 release instead.
I'm not sure I agree with this, and we *need* to solve this problem
going forward, or else we won't be able to do 3.2 updates when we're
working on 3.3.
The rules are pretty version agnostic, except for the ones which have a
dependency on a plugin or other code change that 3.1 doesn't have. I think
it'd be pretty easy to do a run with the 3.2 code and run with the 3.1 code
and figure out which those are.
Rules that don't work the same get an "if version" wrapper, the rest can stay
the way they are. We can also look at backporting the differences as
appropriate.
As for rulesrc, mkrules, etc -- 3.1 doesn't need any of that. This is also my
main issue with how 3.2 currently does stuff. I don't understand why this
stuff is part of the normal distro. I like to think of the distro as the
engine side of the project, and mkrules/rulesrc as the rules side of the
project, and there's no reason they have to be together.
So for 3.1, we generate, externally, the rules directory and include it in the
directory that gets mass-check'ed. For 3.2, same thing. Then in the normal
SA distribution, we don't need the whole svn:external/rulesrc/mkrules/etc
stuff, it'll just be a rules dir like before.

(that's 468210 total, btw) and why does zmi have two sets of files?
Hmm... is my masschecker still working? I had thought it died. Anyway, I
need to figure out how to make mine more automagically work. Things here
have been just crazy.
