AHHH!  Now _that_ makes it much more clear.  I think I can easily
work with that in RPM.  Thanks for the detailed instructions.

It seems to be working now..  Perhaps the upper level README
should be patched to give more detailed build instructions.  If
nobody feels like it, I'll volunteer to make the documentation
clearer if someone is willing to integrate my effort.

Thanks.
