Repository Migration to DARCS

[Brian Rice]

I've added an "alpha" branch alongside "main" which also contains the 
alpha images (not diff'd) and virtual machine sources. Now, when you 
want to follow alpha but not the bleeding edge, you can use "darcs get 
http://slate.tunes.org/repos/alpha/" and "darcs pull" to keep 
up-to-date. The "get-alpha" makefile rule will eventually go away.

I am also working with darcs primarily now, so the CVS code is 
basically at a stand-still.

Also note that "darcs send" works regardless of the server settings, so 
feel free to use it to transmit any patches you have. The nice thing 
about the tool is that it asks you questions interactively for just 
about any option not specified, and will remember it in preferences 
(which can still be overridden).
