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....
