well, since I'm having some major issues due to autotools, what 
about after Bradley finishes the new unit allocation system, we 
release it as a 1.0 public release, and then do a complete rewrite 
using a different building system?

With the rewrite we can also work on making it easy to develop from 
any system and I plan on doing some major help with the 
documentation that will work with doxygen which I've been studying. 
Would it also be worth switching to subversion at the same time? Or 
do you guys like cvs more?

If we do it that way, we can also spend some time here and there on 
1.0 as people submit more bugs.

If you guys are up for doing that, maybe an irc session for 
brainstorming would be nice?

random thoughts while I'm bored in bio class.

cheers,
