Working on Bootforth / ficl

Hi,
a few years ago I made an upgrade to ficl 4.0 and some other changes which 
brought among other things: 
- A somewhat simpler C-interface (IMHO)
- Real compression for the softwords
- A user-land ficl executable which acted exactly like the bootloader for better
   forth development

A first step to get back on this topic would be to vendor import the related 
ficl versions (ficl33, ficl40, ficl41) and move the currently used ficl33
from sys/boot/ficl to sys/contrib/ficl and separate the local modifications
from the vendor code.

Any objections in general?

What would be the preferred method?
- Vendor import of ficl33 as described in the commiters guide
- svn copy of ficl33 to sys/contrib/ficl
- svn copy of the locally modified ficl33 files or reapply the local changes?

Other suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Greetings
