Haven't opened up a sourceforge entry yet, mainly because I'm not 
sure what license to put it under, or under what name. I'm usually 
in favour of using GPL or LGPL. There are various trade-offs to 
consider with this: GPL means that anyone that distributes anything 
with the push implementation in it should also make their own 
add-ons open source. LGPL means that they only have to distribute 
in source their modifications to the push implementation.

I would suggest using GPL as it would not hurt any academic or 
non-commercial work. 

Then, a sourceforge project name. Unfortunately 'push' is already 
taken by the Perl User SHell. What about 

o push-language
o push-lang
o ???

I was also considering push-c++, but we might want to consider 
putting other implementations of push there as well (e.g., Lee's 
lisp code).

So, license and name. Any comments?
