Where's the hacking spirit in that?  If I have to use your SVN, you 
can't bother to use my Darcs?  :-P  At one point in time I had all of 
the following installed at once: cvs, svn, darcs, hg, git, and almost 
installed bzr, not to mention that I was working with some proprietary 
SCS or another at the time...  :-)  In my experience it never hurts to 
at least learn the basic check-out/get command and update/pull command 
for any SCS you encounter.

Anyway, source tarball created:

Yikes.  What sort of a threat is that?  :-)  I'm amazed every time I 
watch a successful autotools build.  It seems to me more like an 
occasion to celebrate with alcohol and festivities more than a common 
place part of a build system...  But I'm just a developer that focuses 
primarily in .NET and Python mostly spoiled by short build times in the 
one world and mostly non-existent builds in the other...

Heh.  Page does not exist because no issues exist...  But the public 
issue posting form is still on my TODO list, anyway.  I'll consider this 
a +1 to get that done...  Noted:
