Humm, well, more reason for me to just stick to p4 (though the main reason
is that it actually works). :)

That aside, this branch doesn't sound like a definite merge candidate, or
at least not something suitable for public consumption from the description.

However, I think user vs projects is mostly academic.  Both of them add bulk
and public, forever history to the repo and making sure to only put stuff in
the repo that is actually relevant is more important than the subdirectory
it uses.
