  I have already some .spec and deb rules, but I reserve them
  for the 1.1.2, with a much simpler backend modules handling 
  (no more explicit rig_load_backend).


BTW, here couple of action to do for the release:

* regenerate ChangeLog
* update NEWS (I'll do it)
* tag the CVS rep with version 'HAMLIB-x-y-z' once we're done with commits
* notify Sourceforge/news, Freshmeat, linux.radio.au
	and mailing list: hamlib-announce, linux-ham, Ham...@qs...

* Update project on sourceforge:
        - Intended Audience: Devloper +Beta testers
        - OS: Posix
* linux.radio.au Linux Hamradio App:
	Hamlib should be listed in the 'rigctl' category, besides 'programming'


To advertise:
- list the rigs supported so far,
- what was major work achieved,
- where we're heading,
- what kind of support we need
