Good idea. Although I've had reports of my RedHat RPMs working on Mandrake,
but it would be better to have MDK-specific packages (i.e. compiled with
whatever good gcc is available for MDK, with specific dependencies).
Any volunteers? Maybe some other RPM-based distros? Adapting my spec won't
be much trouble and if there's enough demand, we could create a meta specfile
that generates specfiles for different distros.

This might be a good idea to do a poll on what distros are most popular
among users (and developers).
