Well I just started compiling a new huskylib, smapi and fidoconf, when that 
is done, then hpt, htick, sqpack will be next, and then fastlst and msged.

Well *.diff files like we use for the nodelist might be a good way of doing 
things, but then a lot of folks, seem to take it for granted that internet 
access is allways available, and affordable every where, which is not allways 
the case.
