I'm trying to develop a linuxconf module for majordomo, which I find to be
a wonderful package but an administrative nightmare. I have both feedback
and questions about Linuxconf.

First, the linuxconf-devel stuff actually seems to work, more or less. I
called setupmod.sh, and it created a development directory. Feeling daring,
I typed 'make' immediately:

  emk@kidd:~/src/majordomo $ make
       majordomo.cc
  In file included from majordomo.cc:11:
  majordomo.h:17: majordomo.p: No such file or directory
  majordomo.cc:12: majordomo.m: No such file or directory
  make: *** [majordomo.o] Error 1

OK, so it won't build yet. A brief examination of userinfo reveals that the
missing files are machine-generated. So, here's a patch which will prevent
future module authors from getting confused:

And here's the great mystery: where do I get the solucorp-tools package? If
anybody can point me to a copy, I can begin work on majordomo support for
Linuxconf.

Linuxconf, by the way, is an excellent system. Many thanks to Jacques
Gelinas for his excellent work (and RedHat for integrating it with
distribution).

Cheers,
Eric
