It's been quite a while.

Nuke from orbit. A "README" with a pointer to RPMforge "extras" and to Fedora would make sense. I'm trying to submit an issue to the issue tracker. Turns out there's an old account there called "nkadel", but it's not tied to "nka...@gmail.com". It's probably my ancient nka...@comcast.net account. I've set up a new one as "nkadelgarcia", as the easiest workaround, so I'll drop in notes there.
