Anders, I think that is not the best idea (it are some files like 
"BashBurn.sh" and lang. files - and maybe I think Nick and maybe others 
also did improvements since then).
So in such cases we should always take the whole thing to avoid 
dependency-problems - if we can be shure nothing is broken - and i think 
in this short time the trunk is relatively usable.
