Hi Istvan,

Apologies, I've had it down to try this out the past couple of nights
but things are very busy here personally.  I'll give it a go tonight
(San Francisco Time).

>From what I saw initially just looking at the code, I didn't see the
files grabbing values from SConstruct.  It'd be nice to hook them in
as a target, but I guess that should come in later anyways.

BTW: I'm using Fedora Core 4 at home, and if you're using SuSE, that
should cover a lot of ground for RPM based distros.
