Besides that, and I don't update it via CVS, the ctrl directory should probably 
just be watched in case there are any changes you can diff any .ini files and 
add in what has changed, as well as all the recent text.dat modifications. If 
you haven't changed anything in text.dat, though, you can just update it to the 
current one.

Not too long ago, but plenty has been done since then. :)
