Simon,
for the most part 95% of features *should* work OK by just changing the
$sources at the top of the script, but it's a currently untested scenario,
and I can think of a couple of things that will definitely break as it is
now..  The plan is that any arbitrary location should be usable in the
long-term, but we gotta at least get it working reliably first in one
configuration.

Patches welcome though.  :-).

If you "start over", and want to save bandwidth, just copy all the good
archives from your old 'sources' folder into the new one, and it'll use
them. (you saved a backup, didn't you!). any missing ones will be
auto-fetched.

Buzz.
