Nick:

Sorry, its a dependency of the underlying "squeezeslave" software that
this plugin is based on.  I haven't had any trouble with it on the six
computers I've run this on (all Fedora/Redhat, though).  One day I'll
get around to getting it out, but for the time being, it's part of the
system.

Sorry.

George
