[HECnet] Modest proposal: Media library

You know, of course, that there can be the same version of a kit on several SPL distros. Therefore you don't have to copy all SPL distros completely. Just the different kits.

Seems like a great idea.   Looks like VAX SPL CDs run 2-3 GB gzipped,
closer to 6 GB uncompressed.   One Alpha SPL looks to be about 4 GB
compressed.
