Sounds convenient. If you supply those packages, we could then make a separate package directory for those Rootless-oriented binaries (with a big "unsupported" warning. if you'd like ;) ). > This project has revealed a couple of bugs with respect to Rootless > in general (not just my Cygwin/Mac version) elsewhere in the scripts > which currently prevent SignProgram from working correctly on Cygwin, > Mac, or Linux hosts.

Feel free to commit and if you figure out the problems affecting current CVS, we'll pack a release right away.
