Ummm, what if the code needs changes?  Then you have multiple versions
floating around.  Doubleplusungood.

I do think some sort of referee system is a good way to go, and I might
be willing to run a package or two past my really funky compiler (IBM AIX3
on the RS/6000.... part BSD, part POSIX, part USG, and occasionally a
royal pain :( ..... if there's anything weird about the code at all, xlc'll
catch it).  Maybe not too tightly organized..... one thing about USENET, 
start throwing rules at it, and watch the flame wars begin.
