Ah yes! I remember -- the whole "plugin" architecture we talked about
last summer! Neat. Let's revive it. We can mimic Apache this way.

Right.

Right now, adm_crawler.c is a program that recursively walks the
working copy and reports local mods to an editor; it's the essence of
the `commit` command. But I need to write a smaller version of this
program. Specifically, one which notices nothing but revision
numbers; it reports an object to the editor iff the objects' revision
number is different than a particular "base" revision. This is
essentially our `skelta' idea from way back when.

So ra will need to make two editors available for driving: one for
reporting a skelta to the repository, and one for committing.
