Good point.

SF has a way to get a nightly snapshot of the CVS tree.  We should
suggest that they provide snapshots (in XML of course!) of the bugs
database too.

Note that I have no bandwidth left to communicate to SF folks so this
is up to the user community.  (I'm also very optimistic and trusting
in nature. :-)
