I'm currently wroking on cleaning up vin76.c in an attempt to get the perl
driver to stop segfaulting, but it worries me somewhat that the vin76.c
file is not the source (according to Dittmar), but rather that it's
generated by an unreleased script from some other unreleased source.

Personally I can do without the true source for vin76.c, but it does seem
sort of pointless for me to hack out a solution and then have Dittmar
merge the change into the real source and maybe fail just to have to go
through the same procedure the next time a release is made.

This seems to indicate two problems with the current approach:
1) The source released is not the true source, so pathing it is hard.
2) The source is released very rarely, so keeping patches uptodate is
hard.

I realize that the scripts that generate vin76.c are probably very ugly,
but release them anyway, I'll be more than happy to lend a hand if they
are truely nasty.

I realise that the working copy of the source tree is unreliable and may
not even compile, but having daily snapshots of the internal sourcetree
placed on the ftp server would help me, help you a great deal.
(anonymous CVS access would be aboslutely brilliant, but daily snapshots
would do nicely)

Any chance of getting that?
