Probably, but it would be safer to actually be in the winsup
directory, I think.

Also, is there a reason why you're using rtag?  I've always

you end up tagging the versions in your sandbox rather than
the versions on the server.

Sure.  If you want to create the maint directory now and check things in,
that would be ok, too.
