I have had a quick look at these today and there are still a couple of 
things I would like to address.  but they are getting much closer to 
what I think they need to be.

I have put them on a "sodeps" branch of my pacman repo so they do not 
get lost and they will consistently remind me to take a decent look at 
them...
