Well, yes, if we could agree on a price and schedule. I make some of my living customizing CVS - it's like any other contract work as I see it and I already have a lot of experience with the code base. That's not to say that such a change would definitely get into a feature release... I would offer it up, but it would still have to get by the rest of the CVS developers. *I* wouldn't even advocate/vote for it unless I thought it was useful, of course, but I haven't been paid to code anything I wouldn't advocate for inclusion in feature yet - probably because I tend to discourage features I don't believe are The Right Way (tm) to do a thing and prospective customers tend to either take my advice or decide not to hire me. :) MySQL.com, at least, does something similar with MySQL. I think they have a bug database with a "contribute funding for this feature" button or the like. I think I came acros something like that a while back and I've come across funding requests regarding planned features in the MySQL manual and other MySQL documentation. >another story for another time I guess.

No point in potentially destabilizing production for this one. Derek -- Derek R.
