That sounds like a good idea. The new "import" command for parsing
a incoming dir currently evolving in CVS already has support for aliasing
distributions (as it has to be specified somehow if it is not on the command
line), but manual inclusion should support something like that, too.
But I dislike the "-alias" name (as it not really is a alias, which is
more or less what the suite is), I'm tending a bit more to something
like "AllowInclude" or "AcceptFor" or something like that.
Thanks for the suggestion,
Bernhard R. Link
