BEHOLD: http://www.finnie.org/software/devel/robotfindskitten/robotfindskitten-1.7320508.406.tar.gz

        * Updated the autoconf/automake system
        * Added a manpage (originally written by CrackMonkey)
        * Removed Debian-specific infrastructure
        * A few small doc changes

The tarball is over 100K bigger, but that's all "configure" being a
hog, nothing you can really do about that.  I have tested on a variety
of Linux and BSD systems (RH 7.2/7.3, Debian woody/sarge/etch/sid,
FreeBSD 4.9/4.11/6.1) without problem.  OpenBSD/NetBSD/Solaris may be
worth testing too.

So test away!  Remember, robotfindskitten itself shouldn't be any
different.  The only user-visisble change should be a manpage being
installed with "make install".
