If I correctly remember the issue, if I merge earthdistance back into the
main source tree (which is a simple mv operation and cvs update on the
modules file), it will potentially break everyone's currently checked out
CVS source, since the 'paths' will change in the CVS/Root file ...
I'm willing to do it, since all the work I generally do, I do with a fresh
check out ...
Am CC'ng in -hackers, as they will potentially be *the most* affected by
doing this ...
