And at the same time I'm asking to split Minivend so that
it will be easier for **ME** to maintain. potato potato tomato tomato
He wins who has the most hair left.  ;^)

I'm not sure that one should make it easier.  Instead, a clearer statement
of what sort of ability/infrastructure is required before one gets
started might help more.  I'm not looking forward to "I installed the 
RPM and it doesn't work.  HELP URGENT...." type emails.  That just
postpones the inevitable.  I'd like to think that anyone running
minivend professionally can install a module from CPAN.
