I further disagree, respectfully.

IB currently compiles in MSVC++. Thats not open source. What happens if we
decide to write utils for IB and we do them in Delphi or CB? Oops, we cant.
Dave won't let us, Delphi and CB arent open source.

Windows? Guess well have to drop support for that too.

CVS will likely be our end choice. But if we blindly choose it wo consdering
alternatives, then we are very closed minded. What if a free (but not open
source) VCS was available? Lets say for instance we decided StarTeam was the
perfect VCS, and Starteam liked our cause and donated free copies for our
effort. You would turn it down because its not open source?
