Well, James, see Satoshi's followup posting where he proudly presented
his collection of these hats. Or, see my occasional prodding of
people towards using easy-install. The reason i wrote this script was
simply that i've botched *three* CVS imports in sequence when starting
with FreeBSD. Really, three of them. One had the wrong sources
imported, one had the wrong target directory (thereby causing a new
CVS repository being created), i eventually forgot about the third
one. I then decided that `cvs import' was the biggest mess i've ever
seen, and i should really get something preventing me from repeating
these mistakes. Ok, i also went for a little lazy-people-friendliness
(like the TAB filename completion).

*ROTFL*
Perhaps i should ask Martin Welk whether Liebscher & Co (remember, the
guys organizing the daemon plushies) would also be able to provide for
yellow, pointy hats? But i'm afraid the shipping costs are worse than
the fun value is.
