 you should *always* be quotes ready quotes.  there should be
absolutely zero hesitation - period.  but there's a minor problem:
phil's not responding to requests for adding people to rhombus tech
git repos at the moment. so, in the meantime, send me a "git format
patch" set of files (to my email address not the list) and i'll drop
them into eoma.git

 no, that's right.  i used it to start things off, and to learn about

 oh - yeah, that's because i accidentally did a commit to kicad-libs,
forgetting that it was a submodule.
