You make some excellent points, and I have absolutely no problem with
people correcting code that they've seen and re-posting it as a "v2"
version. I encourage it, in fact, especially if the original code is
left intact as much as possible, and comments are judiciously used to
describe any changes.

While this isn't as formal a process as a SourceForge or CVS, I think we
can easily manage this process informally at this time.

Thanks for your input,
