1) Given: worship of the law
2) Problem: although mlab obeys the law in most
aspects, it does not in the directory structure
aspect... infact it trancends the law, space, and
time.

3) proposed solution by mwedel: new top level cvs dir
4) time passes

5) I request said directory
6) Problem solved: I get to upload mlab to cvs, those
who love the law get to keep their faith.
