Since Andrew does this all by hand now, subversion / arch / whatever could
only improve the situation. And the kicker is that using a free system
would mean the result could be dumped into BK for those that want to use
it. The reverse unfortunately isn't true; not because of technical
reasons, but because of license restrictions.
