No big deal.  I can put a hook in our packaging system to bring it
in as an optional extra.

Should really be the -stable release, which is currently 4.2-STABLE,
this is what I use to update GNOME components.  I hope to be able
to add alpha to the list by GNOME 2.0

Ok.  If someone can drop some tarballs somewhere, I can test this

up a cvsup server along side the rdist3 mechanism, but that's another

The main problem, as is usually the case, is lack of communication.
Hopefully we can get this sorted - I'm certainly getting a little
tired of my beloved gmc :)
