[Magic-dev] magic CVS repository proposition

I'm perfectly willing to host the CVS for Magic on the opencircuitdesign
website.  For that matter, I could host the email archives as well---
I just ported the xcircuit-dev mailing list from SourceForge because I
didn't have enough control over it there, and it was getting flooded
with spam.  I integrated a search engine into MailMan, which is a nice
feature.  There's a Wiki for Magic and Xcircuit on the opencircuitdesign
site now, as well.

An alternative idea is to make one a mirror site of the other, although
I don't know how well that works with the MailMan, UseMod, and CVS
interfaces.
