just watching how quickly it runs is a jaw dropper.  windoze is just
so slow and i'm used to that.  compiling _all_ the binaries (ie. for
all the architectures) from the cvs source, taken from the vita cd,
must have taken 20 seconds.

i look at some of the source to that _thing_ [cvs] -- one page of disclaimers,
comments, noise etc for a 5 line function, that smashes / off the end of
strings iirc.  nice going guys [cvs authors].
