I'm guessing the run-*.sh scripts are easy to modify in order for
a user to tailor them to their needs?

Anyway, it sounds reasonable to me.

Can you work up a patch to the crash.spec file to create an additional
sub-package?  Presume a new crashdc subdirectory off the top-level
to contain the files so that tar.gz users will get them as well.

Thanks,
