Actually, I've never officially distributed my multi-server zhm/client
code.  Although I've also never hidden the fact that the code is
system:anyuser in AFS. :) My reasons for not distributing it are as
you said: it doesn't scale.  But I agree with your assessment that in
cases like the AI lab it might be reasonable.

I'll think about it.
