As far as I know, all developer use hg.globulation2.org as if we had a central 
repository, so stripping there and asking people not to taint it with buggy 
version should be ok.

hg.globulation2.org is my server so I can do the admin stuff. I would like to 
know the extent of the work done in splitting files and whether we can 
duplicate it easily, either by hand or by script. I really do not like this 
idea of keeping these ugly and useless object files forever.

Have a nice day,

Steph
