Of course I agree with all of your (Rob's) arguments, and I'm sure 
most others as well. Don't need to keep repeating arguments I 
already agree with. I just think this project should deal with 
manpower first, and I'm RCS-neutral. I'm awfully, dreadfully sorry 
that I accidentally mentioned CVS in giving an opinion.

Okay then, you know, we're going around in circles. :-) This is 
exactly like a past discussion that ended up with me setting up 
the hg repository. So I did try to get this tcc onto a modern 
distributed RCS, and then managed to get Detlef to take over, but 
no commits in the past 7 months or so. Anyone care to continue 
that? So that's one data point. It says we need muscle.

No muscle, no results. Need'um reliable muscle first, else 
everything is stuck. Even the scenario where you (Rob) kindly send 
patches over under LGPLv2 requires muscle plus a distributed RCS. 
I was just trying (very carefully, knowing you are around, but 
obviously not carefully enough) to point out to the list that 
without reliable muscle, nothing is going to move.

So to keep my message simple -- what we need is action, and I 
think those who can take action gets to decide. Forget I ever 
mentioned CVS. We're beggars here, the thingy is mostly in deep 
freeze, and in my very humble, personal opinion, I think I would 
accept a bowl of plain rice instead of holding out and starve in 
hope of a gourmet meal. I also think opinions like mine are very 
cheap, thus I fervently hope for someone to step up to the plate.
