This is certainly the long term goal, but in the mean time we should
_really_ get stuff into a CVS of some form.  I'm perfectly happy with a
snapshot of the CVS tree as it is released to Legacy.

We won't be building anything pre7.3, and if I get my way, we won't be
building anything pre FC2/3.

Should work.  Currently our single build box has the master copy that we
sync up to download.fedoralegacy.org at Duke, which is then hit by our
mirroring system.  So things wouldn't change too much.

I'd rather not wait for #1 to get revision control in place.  It really
is important for being able to bring more developers into the project
and having some kind of sane workflow.
