Sorry, I've been heads-down on another project.  Actually it's Battle For 
Wesnoth, the one I've held up as a tool-use model here.  We're heading
towards a major stable 1.4 release and, as I'm one of the core devs, this 
involves a huge amount of work.

I'll get back to working on VC probably around the first week of
March, possibly earlier.  In the meantime, anybody who wants to take the
initiative on moving VC to use vc-status sooner has my approval and 
encouragement to do it.
