I'm primarily interested in configuration 'diffs' and archives.
Is pancho readily integrated into rancid?

If not, would it make more sense to add SNMP+TFTP as a rancid module,
or to add support in rancid to call pancho to retrieve Cisco
configurations?

Basically, my employer doesn't mind building process around open
source, but prefers that the solution be part of the base FOSS project
 (makes it easier to replace senior staff with inexpensive newly
graduated CS BS students).
