Agreed, PRCS needs some maturing time.

McVoy had a lot to do with SGI's build environment ("ptools"), which
in many ways is notably more flexible and capable than HP's fcs/kcs or
Sun's monstrosity.  BK's multiple workarea supports (something it
shares with SGI's ptools) seems particularly suited for this project.
I'll see if I can't get BitKeeper up and running on Kanga.Nu by
Monday.

No worries.
