Alex, I fully agree.

I wanted to start importing right now, but I can't seem to login to  
the CVS repository to checkout the latest version. Since I don't want  
to bother with CVS anymore, could someone send me a freshly checked  
out copy of the entire CVS repository (in a .zip archive if possible)?

Thanks!

Peter
