Thanks. I added these to your packages.

I generated missing packaging history repos for some of these from the 
CTM history.  Please let me know if there's any errors or if you'd like 
those removed.

I didn't check, but if any of these are no longer carried by recent 
linux distros, maybe think about if it's actually useful to keep on 
having a package for it...
