Hey, speak of the Devil ;)  Thanks for responding.

I, too, have had wonderful success using your RPMs, they have been
extremely helpful.  However, I have only been using them for a short
time.  With that being said, I was not aware that a buildlog was created
- this I will look for, and bring back to the list here in a short while.

I know you're busy, but I just wanted to say thanks for responding.
