just curious...what packages are you putting together that depend on
xplanet?  i have a relatively stagnant "xscreensaver-modules" package
(that i never finished off) that pulls in a few thigns that can be
used by xscreensaver.

totally new and totally different.  i see the author pulled in most of
the patches i sent him, but not all of them, so we'll have to make a
few more patches to get that back to "normal".  that said, this one's
totally different, which i might end up liking, but for now it's not a
two minute job to get my old way of using xplanet working in the new
version.

and xplanetbg is gone.  might we want a small sh script in files that
could emulate that?
