   I'd think a major downside to changing the source to customize your system is   
   that if you wanted to upgrade to a newer version of WWIV, you'd have to   
   re-apply    
   your customizations to the code (and then test it again to ensure your changes   
   work in the new version).  And in some cases, the author's code may change so   
   much that it might be very difficult to apply your customizations again.
