The _wonderful_ US of A has some messy laws when it comes to software. 
Don't worry too much about the details of how I'll pull this off--that's
my problem ;-).  For now I'm the only one doing _any_ cvs committing
anyway.  That clears up some problems there.  And yes, I do know who to
talk to about setting up a new non-US hosted site--so that is already
being worked on.

I agree about the checking out (and having it work.....).  But really
for something like this we don't want too many people with CVS write
permissions yet.  To solve this issue I'd like to try to set up
different sub-projects on Savannah (maybe on Sunday...).

So get started.  There is plenty of info in the source files to be
extracted and organized.  So have fun.
