Well, I'd like to get Peep integrated so that this will be ready in 
cvs as well, and then I can send you a new tarball to import. One 
question along these lines is: how should we work with the multiple 
user interfaces? Should you start piper with a command like 'piper 
pied' or 'piper peep' and then it will start the appropriate user 
interface? Or you you want to have separate --pied=on, --peep=off type 
command line options like we have right now? Also, maybe we should 
have an option in the configuration file for the default user 
interface if no option is passed on the command line, so that 99% of 
the time you can just start up piper with 'piper' and get what you 
want.
    A big thing we want to be careful of, especially when importing 
the original project, is to avoid getting autoconf cruft in CVS. The 
only things from autoconf/make that we should need in CVS are the 
configure.in and Makefile.am files, plus a few extra shell scripts. 
I'll try to send you a clean tarball that is ready for import 
directly, but I just wanted to mention this in general since autoconf 
generates a lot of junk that we don't want in cvs.  
    Also, do you (or anyone else) have any changes you need me to 
merge by hand prior to importing?
    Sounds cool, tho, I'll be happy to have it back in cvs :-).
