Why is it built with gcc3.1, just out of curiosity.

No, I don't blame you, it is hidden ;) When I created the debian
package, the packaging tools would yell and cry if you didn't have a
manpage for the package.. so I had to create one.. and it ended up in
akka/debian .. I probably should move it to doc/ but soon as we get the
RPM done for this one and get that out, I will try to re-arrange some
things around. It's in SGML format (akka.sgml).

That's great. Will we see those patches some time in the future, or are
we going to have to send our forces down to where you live and get
them ;)

I told Chahine that if he gives me a python interface, I will make him a
nice console-based configurator instead of having to actually modify the
perl script (although it's rather trivial, even I can do ;)), but I much
prefer have a simple conf file.
