Is the idea of a mirror intended to support geographically close downloads?
faster downloads?
backup?

FYI, when we have the code in CVS we can grab a tarball of the cvs tree.
They are created nightly.  That should be a good backup in case of
catastrophic failure at savannah.

BTW, the website can be checked out as well, but i Don't know if you can
get a tarball of the cvstree of the website.  I'll figure that out
tomorrow.
