Has anyone tried this yet?  I realize that it's Thanksgiving break
but that's just in the U.S.  I figured somebody would be daring
enough to try it!

On SuSE 10.0 or 10.1 you should only need the "lsb" package
installed for lsb-xastir to work on your system.  If it complains
about needing anything else installed to run it then I want to hear
about it.  I assume the needed package for LSB support on other
linux systems is probably called "lsb" or perhaps "lsb-base".

I'm dying to get the entire package done as an RPM file, but my
experiments so far haven't taught me much about how to do it.  I'm
hoping Jeremy can help with that obstacle.
