I would very much like gnuorg to go in CVS, but I haven't the time to make
the Makefile DTRT.  I hope someone can work on this, because I'd hate to
have the import delayed waiting for someone to work on that.

(BTW, I do agree with devnull that issue needs to be handled, and that it's
 a good idea to wait a week no matter what.)

Here's an idea for the makefile:

   Have it still run in /gd/gnuorg, and add all it's derived objects to
   .cvsignore.

Would that solution work?

I would like to have it reoganized, too.  I would be inclined to say: "let's
put it in CVS, then reorganize", but then I worry about CVS' issues with
moving around files and directories (i.e., it doesn't handle it well).

I would also hate to see long discussions about a reorg slow down getting it
in CVS.
