What would be acceptable? I run slackware, so I can build slackware
packages. I assume the "slp" rule in the Makefiles refers to slackware
packages, yes? If so, do we want conditional alien generation based
upon whether installpkg is found, or should I replace the alien
generation wholly with native slackware package generation?

In case you hadn't guessed, I'm working on this at the moment.
