Cool!  From what I understand, all that's required to make a regular ftp
site into an Ultra-Cool apt site is adding a couple of files.  I'll be
putting the RPMs online in a few hours, unless I have many more compile
problems.  Do you know how to create the files needed to make it into an
apt repository?  Let me know what information is needed in order to do
that, and I'll try to provide it.
