Hi all,

I've moved all the key FCPtools code out of FreeWeb CVS and into the freenet 
project's official CVS, under /Contrib/fcptools.

You can access via cvs/ssh, or browse the tree at
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/freenet/Contrib/fcptools

I've relinquished ownership of fcptools because:

1) fcptools is multi-platform and written in straight C, versus FreeWeb which 
is shamelessly windows-only and only compiles in MS Visual C++

2) FCPtools is being used by a much larger audience than FreeWeb. So it's 
accommodation on the FreeWeb site is no longer appropriate

3) I want (to hobx's revulsion) to concentrate on windows GUI stuff.

4) It would be lovely to see fcptools benefit from a larger community's 
involvement in its evolution.

Please note:

1) FCPtools will soon be removed from the FreeWeb site

2) Anyone working on FCPtools, please get CVS access to the Freenet project (if 
you haven't 
already).

3) Please Please - DO NOT commit anything to FreeWeb CVS form now on - instead, 
commit to Freenet CVS

4) If anything in Contrib/fcptools on Freenet cvs is broken, then fix it - I 
apologise - don't revert to the copy on the FreeWeb cvs

Folks, enjoy fcptools. It gives me great pleasure to hand it over to the wider 
freenet community. May it empower client-writers everywhere, and help Freenet 
to reach a bigger audience faster.

But *please* keep it multi-platform.
If you're linux-only, and you make any substantial changes, then please arrange 
for someone with msvc (sebastian, myself, \x90 and many others) to integrate 
your changes into the windows build.
This is serious.
Again, PLEASE KEEP THE WINDOWS BUILDS WORKING AND CURRENT.

Cheers
David
