Indeed. I think we should have it in tla itself.

My long term plan is:

  1. factor out "cache generator + valis" from ViewARCH.

  2. add a "deep survey mode" to the cache generator which
       traverses each archives ancestry when making caches.

  3. cleanup source code.

  4. rewrite by C ( or... pika ? :)

  5. define ViewARCH's cache format more explicitly in Japanese.
  5'. translate it in English.

( 6. add some plug-in mechanism to tla' core, just like
     linux kernel's lodable module )

  7. merge 4. with tla directly or by using 6. 

Note that factored out part (cache generator + valis) isn't
related to ViewCVS at all. so I can declare it pure GPL safely.

Short term plans are 2. and 5.

Just a thought.
