One immediate worry: for the projects that are up to date, I am
concerned that we would be asking the authors to jump through a new
set of hoops, when they've already jumped nicely through the hoops
that we specified before.

Can we not do something using the existing format (assuming that the
records in that format are available somewhere), so as not to require
resubmission of equivalent information?

(I completely agree about cleaning out old stuff, and about
building with 1.6/1.8 being a good test, though.)
