Subj: 	re: ode magic needed for .mrg..files.dat

Brett/John, Jon Wallace and I took care of this file on Friday, changing
it from a "BIN" binary file (in ODE's eyes) to a normal file with "# "
comment headers.  It will now merge normally.

We will be looking into whether other .mrg files should also have this
change submitted for them.

Hmm, this was the first I heard of the cdfs problem.

Looking at the blog for .mrg..files.dat, my addition of cdfs_data.c
got nuked by Uttam's submission of the new DLI code.

This is likely because (last I looked) ODE thought .mrg..files.dat was a
binary file, and wouldn't let you bdiff & bmerge it.

Since this file is really a text file, can someone sprinkle magic ODE
powder over it so that it can be bdiff'ed and bmerge'd like other text
files?  Who's the right person to cast that ODE spell?

John
