Well, in my case it would be more of a 1-off, I want this converted, and
I'm the only one who will use it.
I really wish I could say that we were switching sometime this week, but
I don't that it is possible. (I'm the only one using Arch, the others
are using CVS, but I convinced them that switching to SVN was not the
answer). Development is slow/stopped right now, but they want it to pick
back up soon.
