Well, I tried installing it. The installation got stuck right towards the end,
and when I cancelled it, it grabbed the keyboard focus, and did not return

in /opt/upspilot, but I did not invoke it yet.
In any case, I'd rather avoid having to use such a program.

Sorry, but no attachment is included here. Can you please send it to me in
private or place it on a web-server or something?
