  In `pcl-cvs.el', at line 503, it goes:

       (COLLECT
 ;; for viewing *match-list*, uncomment this and run
 ;;     (debug)
        (let*
 	   ((c (car (car *match-list*))) ; Is using `concat' acceptable here?
 	    (full-path (concat (file-name-as-directory *root-dir*)
 			       (car (cdr (car *match-list*)))))

  ... wasn't there something about not useing `concat' like that, for
  Windows compatiblility reasons? 
This particular code works on Windows, but we might support other file 
systems where this won't work, so the code is not really being nice.

...
  Should this be changed then, I wonder? 
No reason to change it now.
