I'm not sure I'm the right persone to populate the repository. I never used
svn before, and I'd prefer to step back on this one. It's not as easy as
running cvs2svn since we want to reorganize the stuff in the meantime (from
directories to branches, etc).

I refrain myself from commiting anything to the CVS so someone can safely do
this change, even without the 12 hours announcement.

If noone can do this, I may give it a try, but I'd *really* prefer not to.

Bye, Mt.
