They'll probably speak up in their own defense, but I just wanted to say
that I think it's unreasonable to request such things from the
consortium. They've got more than enough to do eithout having to worry
about contributed software and/or the overhead of making everyone and his
brother a "special tape" (believe me, once they did it for you, a lot of
other people would start asking similar favors).
