The re-commit is fairly intentional - the `original directories`
should have been only copies of the ones in the gnu ac-archive,
it did turn out to be always problematic to check-in earlier
than the gnu part since my auto-sync scripts would claim for
an update to be present in the gnu part where there was none -
my scripts only check for a `diff` and when the one in the
sfnet ac-archive was never, wheeww. So, after that I did not
even try to update the `original directories` earlier and just
wait till the updates are there and ready to be copied. The
adl case is an exception herein since I did not wanted to
wait any longer.

The `user directories` (as I call them) are updated independently
however - it has been the intent of the sfnet branch to be
also a playground for experimental stuff that people go about
to delete perhaps but which they want to have packaged. I hand
out cvs access to the sfnet branch quite freely, and the
makesystem is ready to be used by third persons as well,
including uploads to the webserver. Actually, that extra
freedom was not used - my intention thereabout misled perhaps.
As a result, most of the updates in the `user directories`
are just... mine. Ooops. ;-)
