Ok.  I'd be happy to help put rpms together if you need them.  I've got a spec
file I'm using for my own installs.

Thanks for flac, by the way.  I'm very impressed with it.  I recently decided to
switch to lossless compression and was initially discouraged to find only
proprietary tools.  I was very happy to stumble across flac.  I think this
project deserves a bit more publicity.  I follow open-source development and
popular audio compression tools pretty closely and I hadn't heard of it until
last week.
