I appreciate how helpful you have always been with your replies.  I 
think it is one thing this project has over all the others.  If I knew 
how to figure out what versions of Horde and IMP were used with that 
particular commit, do you think I would be posing the question here?

Several versions of Horde and IMP have been released since that time. 
Wouldn't it be just as easy to release a working version of SAM when 
those respective projects provide a release?  Or has all development 
been with the Horde 3.0 HEAD?

I can't wait!

I can see how this could be taken as repetition.  My intention, however, 
was to reiterate what a valuable project I think it could be, with a few 
examples and suggestions.

I am sorry you feel that way.  Perhaps others would be more incline to 
help with a RELENG version if the HEAD developers would be a little more 
helpful themselves.

Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the HEAD developers' efforts.  I 
would just like to see more assistance on both sides of development.
