This is pretty close to what we have done for 4.0.0 and 4.0.1.  I would like to:

1.) Keep the format the same for all OSes, for what goes up on
SourceForge for the releases.

2.) Avoid having to build a zillion different Linux variations.  What
I mean by that is, I'd rather avoid putting up all these different
packagaes:

ooRexx-4.2.0-6212.fedora11.x86_64.rpm
ooRexx-4.2.0-6212.fedora13.x86_64.rpm
ooRexx-4.2.0-6212.fedora14.x86_64.rpm
ooRexx-4.2.0-6212.kubuntu87.x86_64.deb
ooRexx-4.2.0-6212.ubuntu87.x86_64.deb
ooRexx-4.2.0-6212.kubuntu90.x86_64.deb
ooRexx-4.2.0-6212.ubuntu91.x86_64.deb

And have people asking us:  I using Fedora 12 and there is no RPM for
me.  What should I do?  When any one of the rpms listed above will
work on Fedora 12.
