well ultimatly code will be merged into prom-libc, which is maintained
with the arch revision control system, i keep a mirror of this repo on
penguinppc.org (also avail via rsync).

note that i will hopefully this weekend be upgrading from larch 1.0pre
to tla 1.0.4 (the new C implemenation of the arch protocol).  this
will involve a small conversion to the source repos, and the yaboot
1.99 branch will probably end up being deleted since its corrupted (it
contains no code anyway))

the nice thing about arch/tla is its a distributed system, you can
create your own branches of my prom-libc repo and commit to it all you
want, i can then merge changesets from your repo.  arch is a really
neat system, it is however a bit of a challenge to get to know at
first.
