Note that what Tom is proposing is actually yanking *all* PLs from the
core source tree, but having them all within the core CVS ... I believe
his "motivation" is that he only has one CVSROOT to set to get at all the
files, but that they are seperate from the core distribution itself ...

Basically, each has to be buildable/distributable standalone, but easily
accessible for making changes if/when APIs change ...

Tom, am I understanding correctly?
