	Of course it's his opinion! However, it's a shared opinion... Having
forked files will make life MUCH easier for developers (actually, it's more
related to what they're used for, but that's beside the point), which will
make for better software for the end-user.
	Glen Bredon's Backup & Restore don't do incrementals, but they're
fast enough so that doesn't matter much...
