[CentOS] Logitech unifying receiver (pairing)

In Fedora there are two applications that can be used to both monitor 
and also pair Logitech devices through the Unifying receiver.  One is 
named "Solaar" and the other, I believe, is a command-line utility 
(maybe what was already mentioned above).

Maybe these can be considered for EPEL, and maybe some in older Fedora 
releases (if they existed then) can be installed straight as an RPM into 
CentOS 6 (though that's highly unlikely).
