(You might want to be careful with your subject line ... this one looks
basically identical to other spam in the moderation queue.)

We welcome the contribution of a (maintained) autopackage control file; we've
had a few requests identical to this one, but no contribution.

I note that we do have binary relocation support, from the 'BinReloc'
package; c.f. <http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/changeset/14862>.  I believe some
of the motivation for this was autopackage.


(I'm personally sympathetic to the idea that autopackage is ... broken.
Still, I'd happily commit such a contribution.)
