I think gnome.org is neutral: we wouldn't have a problem hosting a project
that integrated KDE and GNOME code. Besides, what is neutral for you?
Lots of people are against Sourceforge now, and Savannah is sponsored by
the FSF, which is far from neutral.

Just hack, or if the word "gnome" causes seissures to you or others, I can
setup an A record on dyndns.org that points to cvs.gnome.org, just to
aleviate you or others from typing "gnome". Or, you can always use the IP
address!

The backends are called Setup Tool Backends, if that's of any importance.

XST means XST System Tools, and it's a recursive name, just like GNU. But
again, I don't care about the name, so if there was a last-minute change
of plans, that's fine with me.
