I would like to get it done, though. I've already pinged Elena about
this once off-list; Elena, if you have time to send me those notes,
I will attempt to do an import, but otherwise I'm going to go ahead

(I asked around various more-version-control-aware developers than
myself, and they were skeptical that CVS imports would really be
helpful here; maybe if we had a vendor branch for readline, but we
don't.)
