works for me, and seems even cleaner. (Except for the paren placement:
being usually procedural I like starts and ends to line up :-)

Which reminds me: now that remote compilation works, next on my agenda
is remote version control. I've got cvs both on my client (w2k) and
servers (mostly Solaris). I know the client works, but I haven't used
it for "real work," only for, e.g. downloading TRAMP. For the former,
I've been SSHing in (I keep a shell up for things like isql, and as a
"security blanket") and executing commands directly. What would be The
Best Way to do this within Emacs?
