Yes, I'll take care of it -- with the help of Alexandre and whoever
else wants to help.

Given that this script is only supposed to run on the CVS server with
the GCC master tree, is this a concern? All modern systems I am aware
of have basename.

There are some final details that are being checked, so it's not official,
but there is a good chance it will become "soon".

Yes, that sounds like an excellent compromise (to start with). And, that
notification email to gcc@gcc.gnu.org should be sent whenever a commit
does happen.

Loren, could you please make these minor changes and send a new version?
I'll then take care of the rest -- praying that I won't block commits to
the entire tree! :-O

Thanks for following this path and helping us to address this issue that
thouroughly now!
