Ah. Thank you!

I didn't know that switch was there, should've read glimpse more 
carefully.  Is the altered lib in the default build?

Well, most of it was in formatting of output (for our internal 
requirements), or glimpse filters, or disabling this or that glimpse 
option based on what people wanted in the search (adding .glimpse_exclude 
etc)
Nothing worth adding, just need to be careful when doing install script. 
:)
The code stuff, I've talked about on the list, so nothing new there.

You mean like what www.cvshome.org uses?  I think I've commented in there 
once or twice.
Works pretty well.
Wikis are always cool, like what www.wikipedia.org uses.
I hate documenting too. :-)
CVS comments dumped from changelog often become the extent of mine.
Don't look at me for much help or moral support, but if there was a wiki, 
or interactive FAQ, I  would probably add anything that I figured out or 
that someone told me about.
