Couldn't find the damn RPM, but a quick 'ln' and all was well. I also
needed bison to compile it, but that was easy to get. Even using a
mobile phone as a modem.

Unfortunately, neither installed man pages, and the in-tar documentation
could be most generously described as 'shite'. So I still haven't a
fucking clue what they're for, other than compiling mygnokii. Time to go
RTFWWWPing.
