Hello there,
I have just tested `libasr` build on RH-systems. Everything is fine with
RHEL6; Fedora 19, 20 and devel (all arch).
Also, see no objections from including it to Fedora and EPEL (RHEL 6, 7)
when it's stable and ready for production.
In RHEL 5 I got an error during build:

----------------------
As with recent `opensmtpd` builds, I am not planning to support `libasr`
RHEL5 packages, so fixing it is optional and up to you.
Now, some requests on `libasr`:
1) Versioning and tarballs with releases on Github. It would be nice to
download archives with official versions from Github or another site;
2) De-bootstrap before posting snapshots/releases to have "configure" only;
like we have in `opensmtpd`;
3) Pkgconfig support (.pc file).
