Re: Apple's async changes

> That's absurd -- I think you're the only one concerned about the fact that we haven't tarred up our sources on some given date and uploaded them to an ftp server.   Is it the statement that you want?  Like the one I wrote when I tarred up the sources and uploaded them to the ftp server a while back?  I can write another one saying "Yeah, it's all for the FSF, please anyone who wants to use any of that code, do it," if that makes a difference in your mind.  No one in the Apple developer tools department -- up through our VP -- wants anything but to contribute this code to the FSF source bases.

Mark Newman, who is currently working on async, has had concerns raised 
by his legal counsel about him taking code from an apple repository. 
Rather than run around in circles over this, I figured it would be 
easier to just get you to bundle up a snapshot and shoot it over.  That 
way, we can side step the lawyers.
