Hi Matt,

This looks pretty cool. Let me see if I understand what I am suppose to 
do with this. I download it and untar it ( done ). Then I saw the 
makefile. So I am thinking I should become root cd to the directory 
where the make file is and run make install clean and then read the man 
smapi pages and attempt to follow the instructions contain therein.

Sincerely,
Brendhan
