But this is Pavel's code, and it wouldn't be nice for him to request 
someone else to update its own code. The other point is that I wouldn't 
mix it with the repository of Mozart itself.

Maybe we should retake again Torsten's proposal for making an extra 
project where external contributors have write access to their own 
projects. He was suggesting the use of darcs, but I'm less convinced 
now. I would suggest using one big SVN repository for contributions 
where every project would be a subdirectory. Like this, curl would be a 
subdirectory in the respository with its respective trunk, branches and 
tags subdirectories. What do you guys think?
