Thanks Jonathan,
I'll do as you suggest. I've been playing around with
the configuration to see what it takes to get it built,
then I'll look into making a package. so far i've been
hand tweaking the configure script and the config
output script.
Of course if it's useful I'll feed it back to the
community. I wasn't sure how hard this was and
didn't want to appear presumputious by offering
something trivial.
