To build an rpm package, you essentially need two things:

a) a program that can autoconfigure and build itself (akka can now do that)
b) a spec file (attached to this message)

Unfortunately, I don't have a RedHat box around so I can't really test if this
works like it should. My first suspecision is that it doesn't. But this is the
preliminary idea of what it should have

[see attached file]

%description
The idea behind Akka is that while applications actually write on the user's
console, one console owned by the Akka server will be the one transparently
used for output, taking its input from the hidden user console.

Thus, the first thing the Akka server does is to find a free console to
allocate it to itself. It then detects the active console and automatically
switch to Akka's for the output in case the current one is to be monitored.
