We actually need these packages for 6 or 7 different UNIX operating systems, so 
packaging them wouldn't be much help.  We know each of these releases produces 
a stable build, so it is preferred that we continue to just build these stable 
releases.

Well done on getting this working, Scott!

Have you considered packaging the 3rd party software, and then just installing 
the packages on each host you manage?  Are the hosts you manage of the same OS 
and architecture version?  If so, I'd look into packaging.

Then you could have Cfengine install the packages.

Best,
