Open source projects are funny like that. :)

If you've emailed to the list about changes you've made to rtg and you'd
like them included, let me know, and I'll create a project and try to coordinnate
stuff.

My hope is that enough people with enough coordinated changes can improve the
codebase enough to just hand back something better to the main RTG source gatekeepers
so they don't have to do anything but just commit the patches. :)

I'm only going to do it if I get interest from people with patches right now,
so please poke me.
