thanks! i've applied it followed by another patch with some
changes/fixes. see darcsweb for details...

i wasn't too happy with this, but i can't remember why... :|

but i'm not sure about the idea itself in general. it brings
complexity for the little gain that some bytes are spared.

this effort/complexity should be used for some network traffic
statisctics code that automatically gzip's the output on slow
connections monitoring cpu load meanwhile... that'd be a much bigger
gain... :)

write access is restricted to the common-lisp.net repos, only those
can write who explicitly get access, except ucw_public (which should
be cleaned up, probably at the repo renames).
