I do not see that there is a problem using a separate svn to develop 
and test code in a separate svn, before it is sent in as a patch,
so let's not start a war.

John has done a lot of good work for the AVR32 specific buildroot,
including getting X11R7 working. I do think we want his contribution.

It should be done in the form of separate patches though.

I assume that if people like what he provides, he can get
write access to the main svn pretty soon and then there
should be no problems.
