Honestly I forgot all about this (even though it has some of my very
old stuff in it). I definitely think we could do better about
gathering Mercury resources, most of my newer (and less crappy) stuff
isn't on that list and isn't even on github (I mostly moved to OSDN
over the last three years). I had expected that would hurt
discoverability, but honestly I'm unsure anyone has really used any of
my Mercury code from either site so I'm unconvinced that has mattered.
