Ernst and Daniel,

Most of the effort -- and Daniel is the one doing most of it --
is getting all the support software compiled and running.  The
stuff I've written is pretty generic shell scripts and C-code
that will port to any unix based system.

It was a job getting it all running on OS X, too.  But I can
distribute those binaries so its easy for anyone on a Mac.

As I find time and whatever Daniel's schedule permits, 
we'll try to combine what I needed to do on the Mac to 
get it running with what works on the Linux box.  And then
of course different Linux versions may have different issues
too.

I think this is all within reach, but its hard to predict when.
