Is freshmeat.net really the best thing to put in the
URL spot? I thought of that site more of a directory
not the true location. And since the tar file seems to be
on ibiblio or in somebody's home directory it would seem
like there must be a better place. Hmm though the README
does point out freshmeat - so maybe it's fine.

Actually it looks like it's licensed under the LGPL and
the perl Artistic license, plus at least 2 more.

You really shouldn't have to add -L/usr/lib or -R/usr/lib I'd think,
unless you're trying to force a search order (perhaps you are though).

Since some CFLAGS are no longer forced, does it properly pick the
right ones? notably fdformat/gzip? Ah I see fdformat in the patch
but please make sure it still builds the same way (I'm assuming
the old way worked :)

BTW you can probably not add the .SUFFIXES anymore - I just removed
that for sfw because it was only for building the source packages,
which we (and you) don't do anymore.

Shouldn't you use the install.subr functions there instead?
