[rtg] rtg status?

[Adrian Chadd]

Top-posting again, because I'm a bad person.

I'd also like to add that one reason I'd like people with -patches-
to poke me is that it'll help dictate where along the development
tree to import the base RTG software, and how to coordinate work.

I'm sure people have useful changes made against older and newer
versions of RTG. I'd have to see it all to figure out the best way
of handling it.
