Hey, thanks!  I can't seem to access the repository right now, but I'll 
commit once it comes back.

How would you like your name represented in ASCII?

I think the "ln active active.old" is there on purpose, actually; that way 
there's never an instant in which there is no active on disk.


Can I ask why you didn't like this part?

-Care should be taken when producing active(5) formatted output; be sure to
-check that B<actsync> exited with a zero status prior to using such
-output.  Also one should realize that such output will not contain lines
-ignored by the ignore file process even if C<-p 100> is used.

This sounds like a good idea.  Maybe -w for "wait before timing out" or 
something like that.  If you have a second to put it together, that would 
be great.
