This is a good idea, but I doubt if anyone has a clean copy of ELM anymore
after the recent deluge of patches.

ELM definitely does need someone at the helm to keep the program consistent,
so that all will benefit from the patches.  Whoever this person is they should
have access to AT LEAST a System V and a Berkeley UNIX system.  When using the
original ELM, I got the distinct impression that the program had never even
been run on a BSD system; there were bugs that couldn't have possibly escaped
notice otherwise.

Any volunteers?
