Hmm.  That hadn't occurred to me, but it's an interesting notion.  I think
we'd want to be rather selective what we included in the actual C News
distribution -- it could get bulky very quickly -- but at least a handful,
for the more common Unix variants, sounds like a reasonable idea.  Perhaps
an archive site somewhere could start a directory for the more obscure ones.
