That would require that the src projects agree to let gcc be the
master for those files. So far, that hasn't happened, so we've been
doing it manually. I have a cron job that watches for differences,
but it doesn't attempt to sync them.

I have a setup for such syncing, but so far it hasn't been worth the
setup effort. People just import when they need something new.

Er, ok, maybe not that one. The src/MAINTAINERS file says "Ask DJ"
but I don't recall how that happened ;-)
