I will try and make 2pm Sunday but I can't guarantee it atm.

I absolutely agree that we must end the dependence on CVS. It's a pain and a
hindrance to a wider take-up. I was wondering if it might be possible to
make future features that depend on external libraries optional. By that I
mean that if you had a more advanced GStreamer that allowed you to do
looping then Jokosher would recognise that and if you didn't then tough but
Jokosher would still function with everything else. That way you could have
the bleeding edge if you wanted it but you don't have to depend on it. Or is
it just easier to have a stable version that's in line with distros for
other stuff and always 6 months out of date and the svn version with more
features but more of a challenge to install?
