Apologies to all for the perceived 'cruft'** in the list.

Regards,
Andrew Ferguson

** 1. n. An unpleasant substance. The dust that gathers under your
bed is cruft; the TMRC Dictionary correctly noted that attacking it
with a broom only produces more. 2. n. The results of shoddy
construction. 3. vt. [from `hand cruft', pun on `hand craft'] To
write assembler code for something normally (and better) done by a
compiler (see hand-hacking). 4. n. Excess; superfluous junk; used
esp. of redundant or superseded code. 5. [University of Wisconsin] n.
Cruft is to hackers as gaggle is to geese; that is, at UW one
properly says "a cruft of hackers".
