'Fraid not quite good to go yet...

$ rpm -q monotone bitbake

bitbake-1.6.2-1
$ time bitbake nano

Not quite ready to start replacing things like binutils and coreutils on
an Enterprise Linux class system.  Have already hacked it up more than I
like for this exercise.  Unfortunately, perhaps FC6 is a better
Red-Hat-family platform for these development efforts, or perhaps a
chroot environment is in order.

Suggestions?
