Ah, right.  That explains a few things. :)

Sounds very good.  Too late for me, as I already got all the pieces,
but nice for the next person. :)

I believe Steve need to create an svn account fo ryou.

heh, so did I.  I killed it when it had swallowed 1GiB of RAM.  But
using the 'high resolution' file didn't use that much ram, and it
looked quite a bit better for Bergen, at least.  I'll use that for
now. :)
