Right, I keep forgetting about that. I need to just pull it. It'd be a lot
easier if ben made tarball releases though :-)

Right, that's my basic plan. I'm not sure how closely I'll track CVS for
experimental. My current plan is to do it in a goal-oriented fashion. The
current goal being: provide Xgl, AIGLX, and Xephyr packages. Having
something tangible to work towards in experimental will prevent us from
just focusing on chasing upstream.
