That's good to know - thanks!

When reading the archives I did come across some threads mentioning the 
difficulty of packaging plugins and new scripts to ease the pain, but the 
level of detail was way over my head for a language I'm not too familiar with 
(yet).

I'm definitely looking towards building RPMs one I figure out how to get the 
stuff compiled natively - but I figured I needed to take it one step at a 
time.

Thanks for your help!
