As Sheldon was kind enough to mention, I've put a lot of work into
cleaning those files up, and I'm pretty familiar with the overall
organization (or lack thereof :). However, the fact that no one seems to
"own" that fileset reinforces the need for review by a larger body. There
are plenty of other people besides myself who have a fairly solid handle
on how things fit together with the rc files.

Without making an iron clad promise, I just got approved for some
"mental health" vacation days, so I plan to take New Year's week off. One
of the things on my list to do during that period is to get out the
shoehorn and try to at least get a grip on the magnitude of the problems
involved in the porting. This is not to say that if someone else can get
to it before then they are not welcome to it.
