Which reminds me:  What should be considered the
'official' state of Poplog?  I had high hopes that
Jeff's sourceforge work would be the location for the
current state-of-the-art Poplog sources, since this
is a public location with CVS access that everyone
can reference.

I think it would be really useful to have a single
master repository for the Poplog sources that could
hold onto patches (like the one you forgot about) so
they could be tracked by a release system.

Also, I notice there are several cases where duplicate
copies of scripts are present with certain features 
present or not, and certain paths set, etc.  I'm
curious why something like AUTOCONF isn't being used
to allow you to have a few script templates that
could be used to generate the final scripts actually
used on a particular system?

Thanks,
