Sorry for the very delayed reply.  I got sidetracked by a bunch of  
other stuff.

I'm building an RV-8.  I'm most of the way finished, but still have a  
long list of things to finish off.

For xfplan, I would like to finish off my package for OS X.  But, I  
either need to get access to a tarball with the databases (not an  
rpm, as OS X doesn't have rpm tools by default), or I need to figure  
out how to modify the makefile so it will build without having the  
databases present.  The best solution, I think, is to have a tarball  
with the databases on sourceforge.  Is that possible?
