Finally. So do you want to move Unicorn into FEniCS Apps? The change
would be to

 (i)   Move the repository from /hg to /apps (I just need to change one symlink)
 (ii)  List it on the FEniCS Apps web page
 (iii) Edit the front page

My suggestion would be to edit the front page to list first "core
components" and then FEniCS Apps (or the other way around).

Does this sound good?
