We've moved the files into CVS under the branch 
"persistence-initial".  Jens and I have had some email over the last couple 
of days, and I've written another test program, which got put in the CVS 
branch yesterday.

Overall, the Persistence Library seems pretty strong to me.

There are a number of compiler issues, particularly with wchar_t and FP 
types, the documentation needs a bit of updating, and more work needs to be 
done on the XDR reader/writer, but most of these seem pretty minor to me.

I hope it will be put up for formal review soon.
