Hi everyone,

I guess I am "Ali" being talked about here. I seem to remember initial 
discussions regarding the VC integration in Meld/PIDA that would one day 
aim for an externalisation of the library. I guess that hasn't happened, 
but I think now is a good time.

We will have to add support for cvs, tla, perforce to anyvc. Perhaps 
using the Meld integration as a starting point.

From what I can remember of Meld's VC library, anyvc handles the cases 
it requires. I think a switch in Meld would be a good idea, but then I 
won't be doing the large part of the work!
