It is a little bit messy because there is a WITHOUT_RCS option and openrcs doesn't have rcsfreeze (and perhaps something else that we don't use). I really want to check out first if there is some strong opinion against OpenRCS. Perhaps someone that has used it before and thinks it is a bad idea. It looks like there are voices against it, so those have to be addressed first. Pedro.
