Sounds reasonable.

I would recommend a separate 'xconq-old' top-level module. The
locations (and names) of some files have changed, and it probably
make any splicing task rather challenging. If I had access to
the RCS files on SF, I would consider taking up the challenge of
merging the history directly into the existing 'xconq' module.
However, I don't, _only the SF admins have that access, AFAIK. If
you can get the RCS files from RH, we can ask the SF admins to
pull them into 'xconq-old' or something like that. The SF docs
advertize that their admins are willing to do such things for a
project.
Eric
P.S. If you want to be a project admin for Xconq on the SF site,
let me know the SF username I should add. It's your project, so I
think you should be an admin....
