I agree... call me a heretic... but I kind of like hacking around the
registry...
BTW, before I forget... a little bit unrelated, but... did anybody else read
the article about Subversion in (I believe) Linuxformat this month?
(Brian?)  It's a proposed replacement for CVS that sounds like it tracks
previous versions and will allows better rollbacks... might there be
something in the code for this that could be used for updating and tracking
changes in distros?
