It would be nice if there were some way to take over management of
the module from the current owner. If they aren't responsive, there ought
to be some mechanism for doing it without their input.
Having multiple modules which appear to provide parallel benefit
can end up confusing the users as to which module is the best.
Anyway, my point being that it would be nice if you could take over
CGI::Upload itself, and maybe just add functionality to that.
