I don't think this is serious enough at the moment drop back from the beta code but if people think so I will.

The repository has to change a lot for this since all of gnats will now need to be brought in so all the remote tools get distributed. 2) The cvs vendor branch issue gets resolved so I can put the next release on a venor branch. 3) We finally agree on how our version numbering is going to be handled. -- Paul Richards, Bluebird Computer Systems.
