Better stick it in another branch if it would conflict.

I just did the minimum (a ridiculous amount of boilerplate) to produce
an all-in-one binary package laid out by make install.  Here's one I
made earlier on Ubuntu 12.04 i386:

There's also an RPM spec file in the main repository, which works after
some updates.  I wonder if we should move it out.
