Moving from the CCD to SFW is essentially the same as
integrating from scratch, in the sense that ARC approval is
still required, etc.  It is also the right thing to do for apps that
have proven useful, as users will locate them more easily
if they are in the WOS.

The advantage for the integrator of it already being on the CCD
is that Makefiles, packaging files, etc already exist (albeit possibly
for an old version.)
