OK, that's good to know. I'm not particularly happy with the owl/
directory at all; There's been talk of blowing it away entirely when
we move to git. I'd be a little sad about doing this in a way that
loses information, but I think it's probably worth doing. I'm not
convinced conf.{asedeno,alexmv} wouldn't better live on the wiki or
elsewhere, anyways.
