Sure enough.

If you put it outside of dist then the usual pypy checkout will not 
contain that directory, alas. 

For the time being, we should either live with the conflicts (not so nice)
or move it to a user at hostname directory.  This will also reduce 
the diffs, making 'svn up' rather cheap in terms of network bandwidth. 

Eventually, we want to have a 'sendreport' option that sends a report 
to codespeak where it gets integrated into an HTML view.  But that 
is not going to happen in the next days so i suggest to just move
to the user at hostname directory and move the current stuff to 'mixed at mixed'.

cheers,
