Oh, it reminds me that I asked our local Mandrake packaging guru if he
could package Axiom. He told me that the
directory-path-should-not-be-uppercase bug is a show stopper: the
default build directory for Mandrake packages is RPMS (or something like
that).

Of course. The question is: at which step do we do our binary releases?

If you judge that the current CVS version should have a binary release,
then I'll upload to savannah my own build with instructions to setup
$AXIOM and launch it.
