cool. [i had never dawned on me that you could use pass NIL to :server

i think that's best for now, should the need arise (iow should i
become a bottle neck) i'll give you write access to the main repo (or
we'll mention your repo on the ucw pages).

p.s. - i'm leaving for vacation tomorrow, don't take it personally if
i ignore the list for the next two weeks.
