	BTW...  I meant to change that subject to be more than just
DSA fingerprints after adding all those other questions.  :-(  Hit
the send too fast.

	Great!  That means I'm not loosing my mind (well, maybe) and I
can expect it in 2.4.0!  :-)

	I go to the bleeding edge snapshots and I get prompted for a
user id and password.  Seems like I've gotten snapshots before.  Maybe
that was when the snapshots were on the main ftp site.  Or maybe
I just went straight to CVS...  That's possible too.  What's with
the password on the snapshots?
