Ah, that sounds pretty good. The ability to re-create source, given the FASL,
will really help.

I wasn't involved with this, but my recollection from dribs and drabs I
overheard was that DoE got a copy because they'd been the funding agency for
a lot of the work - i.e. MIT didn't just give a copy to DoE, it was a
requirement.
