We can work something out similar to how we do the other plugins (CDT,
PyDev, etc.).

Eesh.  If the changes to the CDT are blessed by its upstream developers but
not included in a released CDT, we can include them in eclipse-cdt.

Is there no chance of publicly-accessible CVS?

We'll need to build everything from source.

Man, this is going to be a PITA ...

But we'll work it out :)
