[ .. long explanation of cacheing using `alex' ...]

Sounds fantastic.  Just the sort of thing I always wanted from
a central archive. 

Would it be better (once alex is reliable) to put just about all 
stuff inder this scheme?  e.g put all gnu stuff in 
/alex/edu/mit/ai/prep and X stuff in /alex/edu/mit/lcs/expo ?
(I may have those paths wrong)

You could put sym links in for back compatiblity.
