Wow.  I'd completely given up hope on that one.

So feeling inspired, I decided to try it out and see how things looked.  
Alas, my first attempt failed:

    $ rsync -av --delete svn.perl.org::parrot-HEAD parrot-current
    failed to connect to svn.perl.org - Connection refused

I then tried fetching a snapshot.  That seemed to work.  There doesn't seem 
to be an obvious way to get the svn revision number out of it, but
here's the timestamp:

    $ cat .timestamp 
    1174288505
    Mon Mar 19 07:15:05 2007 UTC

    (time of this svn update)

This one falls over immediately during Configure.  Even setting
verbose=2, I don't see why:

    Parrot Version 0.4.9 Configure 2.0
    Copyright (C) 2001-2007, The Perl Foundation.

    [ . . . ]

    Determining what C compiler and linker to use...
    No compiler found (tried 'cc')

Yet 'cc' works perfectly fine, and has for years.  I have changed
nothing in my build scripts.

Oh well, back to other work instead.  Thanks for applying my patch,
though.  Maybe someone else will pick up the task and try to document
and check parrot's alignment assumptions
