[Expo-tech] Summary sheets for survey scans

[Mark Shinwell]

I would suggest we use a version control system with some kind of large
file support.  I think we've been asking for trouble with expofiles for a
long time now, and sooner or later there will be an accident.  I can try to
do some more research into something suitable, I did start looking around a
bit.
