  Any colour will do, just so long as we can park our bikes in it :-)


  Well, that's not quite true: for the love of all that's holy, let's not
adopt the Microsoft approach of "Yeh, of course the 64-bit exes go in
system32, DUH, are you stupid or what?  We've arranged some secret directory

gotten us into."[*]
