	The big expensive commercial tracking systems are the ones with
	insane amounts of features; one of the reasons we decided to go
	with RT at MAPS is that it's simple and does what we want (mostly),
	and we can get the source to hack in anything else that's needed.

	As for helping with code...I think that once RT2 is stable in
	the eyes of the developers, there'll be other folks ready to add
	any remaining needed functionality.  But when it's not yet ready
	for production, adding features can be difficult -- never know
	if they'll need to be rewritten when other things change.
