i think that is an excellent idea. you'd probably want to support the more 
common varieties first (eg CVS) and the others later but it's worth doing 
regardless.

Yes that is correct - not everyone uses BeIDE. 
The P4Companion is also a Tracker Add-On so you can use the Tracker to do it 
or if you _do_ happen to use the BeIDE it is there for you as well.

Excellent suggestions guys!! 
It's going to be a great OS to use.
