Ah, it wasn't able to (or at least it wasn't advertised) the last time
I checked. If that is now the case, rBuilder/foresight seems like a
pretty impressively good base for us. Does it facilitate the splitting

Dave, I've been asked by the host to take torrent.gnome.org down from
lack of use; if we're going to actually usefully use it again I can
request we bring it back up again.
