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. :)
