Re: my $.02 - ignore at will

I don't think the SQL version will be any harder to get running than the <
1.0 version.  It may take a few more steps, but those steps should be simple
and easy and well documented.  It will restrict you to Redhat 7.2 (or later)
for ease of installation.  The setup scripts provided should do almost all
(and could do all) the required work.
