Gimp, as an example, may be the best thing that ever happened, spawing no less
than 'n' psychedelic desktops.  But I got a real shock yesterday when the text
I got was telling me that I can't use it to draw or paint.  Point being, dont
limit yourselves, but then thats perl6's modular philosophy :)

A perl6 specific CVS, with all the expansion hooks for the
make/test/install/distro/config/update/educate features would go a long way to
achieve a lot of admin and development goals.  

To me, the only un-fun part of this kind of a project would be pulling CVS
apart to create the XS's.  The re-construction phase, however, would be cake.
