Cool.  I never saw anything here about it, so I didn't know.  Sounds 
like I may need to rebuild again, as I'd rather use the rpms than build 
via CVS, if possible.

Again, this is the first I've seen this, and I'm glad to see it!  
Considering the volume of the mailing list, I don't have time to check 
other sources, so if this was previously announced elsewhere, I'm sorry 
I missed it.  If there is another source other than this list where 
things like this get announced, I'd love to be clued in as to where it 
is.  I only check your guide when it is time to reinstall, which 
unfortunately for me is too often, as I never feel I have it "right" and 
it usually seems easier to reinstall than fix what I've messed up.

Thanks for the great info!

Jeff.
