i don't have a strong opinion either way on whether a version control
system is necessary, but i *do* think there has to be a mechanism to
get patches in and make newer releases available more frequently.

several weeks ago, i submitted some sizable patches to support both
gcc-4.0.2 and glibc-2.3.6, as well as some SH-related patches, but
without a new release, those patches aren't doing anyone any good.

i have some more patches i'd like to submit but i'd like to do that
with a new release as a baseline.  i don't want to start submitting
patches on top of patches so i'm just going to hold off until i see
something new.

if GIT+cogito would solve the problem, that would suit me just fine.
in a sense, there doesn't even *need* to be an official version
numbering scheme for crosstool.  since it's just a tool, it could
easily be put under version control and people could always just work
with the latest pull.

whatever works to get more frequent releases would make me happy.
