Crossfire has to be re-programmed to use a client-server approach if we want
to have an efficient and really distributed program.  I'm not sure that the
intermediate versions will be easy to maintain if several people are working
on the project.

But once this has been done (the client-server conversion), this should be
easier to maintain and to share between several programmers.  CVS is probably
the best system to use in this case.

One last thing: I can't export NFS because out net connection is damn too
slow!
