	I'm using it, but we're very keen on packaging around here, so 
most of our files end up in an RPM, and get rolled out via a different 
method (see http://arpmats.sourceforge.net/ ).  But yes, you end up with a 
new branch for every combination of classes that you want to copy files 
for.  I use find a lot :).
