   Besides that, and I don't update it via CVS, the ctrl directory should   
   probably just be watched in case there are any changes you can diff any .ini   
   files and add in what has changed, as well as all the recent text.dat   
   modifications. If you haven't changed anything in text.dat, though, you can   
   just update it to the current one.

   Not too long ago, but plenty has been done since then. :)
