What do you think of maintaining the .class files in the CVS tree,
instead of the whole Klasses.jar? It would be quite easy to always
build Klasses.jar locally, from the class files, using either `zip' or
some simplified jar program we could use as a fallback, for example,
Andrea Poltronieri's JZip, that's free for non-commercial use
<URL:http://arena.sci.univr.it/~poltro/jzip/>, or Green Bay, that is
completely free and includes source code
<URL:http://www.telepath.com/pandeng/greenbay.html> or even something
we might code ourselves, it shouldn't be hard to do in Java.

This would save us a lot of disk space and network traffic.
