Not impossible... I've been using a trainable spam filter, and getting
an unfortunate number of false positives... :-(

Yes, I recognize those problems.  I feel conflicted, because I feel like
FFK is too complicated, but also remains relatively immature.  Fixing

No, not anyone can, but I added you as a developer so you can now.  Just

over files from your old checkout, and do a cvs commit for each change.
