Great. How is zenirc? The previous version gave me problems but I
haven't yet checked this one. Don't jump on me, this is exactly what
the Pre-Release section is for.

I agree.
APA> We don't plan to allow whitespace in package names, do we?
It's not something I've thought about, but I'd probably discourage
it. I think whitespace in filenames/function & variable names is evil
at the best of times.
APA> So, I'd propose this format (without quoting by " or ` instead):
APA> Retrieving package speedbar-1.21-pkg.tar.gz ...
APA> Removing old files for package speedbar ...
APA> Removing old files for package speedbar ... done
APA> Installing package speedbar ...
APA> Added package speedbar
I'll support this. Have you got time to do the patch, Adrian? Or
should I add it to my own TODO list?
