I talked to jejb about this, and pretty much the consensus was that if 
it breaks, mark it BROKEN, and let him come back and catch up.  Under 
those conditions, I'm willing to keep it in the tree.

VISWS is another matter.  It's entirely possible I have the only 
remaining VISWS in my garage; we have at least not been able to locate 
another.  Not that we have tried all that hard.

If there are no VISWS' left, we should just unload the code.
