        Yep :-) takes one or two tries to learn it, but the benefit is we can
build personal links more easily & thus a real community [ and people
get replies if they are not subscribed too ].

        Ah - ok; so this is really a question for a RedHat-ter - I suspect
Richard may have some sage advice; possibly we need an explicit command
there.

        For extra bonus points; we could write a shell-script that detected
your system - and ran the right command to install the build deps (on
Linux's at least) - and whack that in bin/ - and/or run it as part of
the 'download' script [ only the first time ].

        Patches most welcome :-) if you don't want to do that - it could
profitably be added to the 'easy hacks' page in the wiki as an entry
level shell / perl task.

        Wonderful, what are you most interested in hacking on ? :-)

        Thanks,

                Michael.
