Great! Note that our policy is not to add new ports to the stable branch, 
only to the trunk. But the internals of the 4.1.x series are almost similar 
to those of the 4.0.x series so I don't expect any difficulties coming from 
the shift.

Agreed. I'll register you as a developer for the project, if the other 
maintainers don't disagree.

I don't think we can restrict access to one CVS branch in particular, so 
you'll have full access. But commiting to the wrong branch with CVS is very 
unlikely.

Ok, do you have any preference for the name of the branch? Something like 
'allegro_console_branch'?
