I last checked the modules with no response the 16 march. Maybe I
should check them again soon to see if there have been any commits
since. But the list should be fairly correct as the chance of a recent
commit (after 18 months without) is small

Last I heard Olav said he would look at setting up an svn archive when
he had the time. Unfortunately he's rather busy it seems.

A similar topic was up on the mailling list a few weeks ago about
creating a separate svn for the SoC students:
