I think Bruce is unhappy with the size of the tarball (220K!), and
I was too when I first saw it. But it turns out that nearly all of
it is a copy of Hans' slides from his OSCON talk, which I don't think
is appropriate to include in contrib anyway. (For one thing, not
everyone can read .sxi format. I can't at the moment.)

I'd suggest dropping the talk slides (and you might as well flatten the
thing into one directory). Perhaps instead the README could include a
pointer to where to find the talk slides on-line. That'd bring it down
to half a dozen K which is a more appropriate size for a contrib item
(and hopefully will not trigger Marc's wrath ;-)).
