And I believe that's even the politically correct method these days,
too! :-) One gripe somebody had with Poul's TCL import was that he
didn't also check in the script, be it ever so simple, that "created"
the importable sources.  NetBSD does this, a good example being in
freefall:/c/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/gnu/usr.bin/gcc/gcc2netbsd, and
I figure we should too.

Yay!  I'd like to hack on the panel code until it's more usable,
myself, but it's still waiting on whomever said they had libncurses
last (thought it was Andrey).  Weren't we also going to replace curses
with it, as BSDI and NetBSD both agreed to do?

It'd be nice if we could get the read-only repository changes with
this.  I think anoncvs is worth making available, for one thing.
