Chris,

Hmmm....I tried using SOURCE_RUL10[0]=<some site>, but that source was
never downloaded. Perhaps I had a type. :)

Eric L.,

As for compressing the patches, there'd be no point (except to save disk
space) as they're compressed into the grimoire for downloads, if we
compress them, then the grimoire creation script tries to compress the
compressed file, wasting time and gaining little space.

Julian,

Very good points, I hadn't thought of all of that, just had a "simple"
model in my head and was going from that. :)
