Hmm...might be a good point. If you want Subversion repository, I'm 
happy to set one up at icculus.org for you (and again, it can always be 
moved wherever later on).

I'm not sure we should go overboard on decoding everything under the 
sun. It sounds like we're getting to the point where we're definitely
