we use rcs to maintain almost all of our distributed documentation. if
you're *very* careful about assigning symbolic names, you'll probably
find it useful. we have. we're not terribly concerned about the space
eaten up by the rcs files, because the development log that accompanies
them is useful. being able to maintain both source code and its documentation
with the same package (and using the same symbolic names) is handy.
