Seems like that stuff should be in CVS somewhere ... if only so someone
else can pick up the ball if you get run over by a truck :-(.
If it's just a small amount of code, I don't see what the harm would be
in including it in the regular distro, though we should talk about just
where it should go. If it's a large amount of code then perhaps a
separate CVS project would be better, so that people who have no use for
it don't end up pulling/downloading it.
