Uh, that's going to be a pain for the mirrors, but if we need it, then
*shrug*.

Sure. Matthias, you apparently have a script to do such mass uploads,
is it easy enough for me to understand and adapt to this (I need to
run it on ronne or so, it'd kill my quota to do it at home)? Otherwise
I just hack something on my own.

Thanks,
