  Yes, this is ok.  Those binaries are for converting the trousers key stores
from one previous version to another.  They are only needed in the case a user
has been running trousers since version 0.2.1 or so.

  Oops, that was unintentional.  I'll upload a new version today.

  No problem.

  Ok.

  Ok, I left in the --add section and ldconfig call only.

  Added.

  For completeness of the TSS itself, I'd like to at least have this available
to developers.  The TDDL is an interface documented by the TCG specs for use by
software.  Its possible that others may want to develop code against it.

Thanks,
Kent
