[Unison-hackers] A couple minor points (to add to the TODO list?)

Hi,

Going through some old emails, I found the following suggestions.

  a) make the destination directory for the CL version selectable
(instead of dumping it in the middle of a systems directory :-))
     something like /usr/local/bin or whatever might frequently be more suitable
  b) I use unison (up to now) only from the command line and it's used
from within scripts or Makefiles. it is therefore unfortenuate
     that by default the GUI pops up and one has to use `unison -ui
text' to avoid this. it would seem better to have it the other way
round, i.e.
     to make the
     CLI the default and to require `unison -ui graphic' to start up
the GUI from the command line (I would argue that people using
     the GUI regularily will start it anyway by double clicking the app)

I think they are fairly reasonable and could be at least recorded in a
TODO file. What's the procedure to edit this file? Can I do it myself
(putting the points in the relevant sections, with only one star
each)?

Thanks,

Alan
