Yes, sure, but I think a worthy goal is a version of LedgerSMB that
can be packaged as a deb or RPM package.  I've been through the wars
of building binary packages for Debian, Fedora, Red Hat and (bleh)
Solaris and I find that preparing a piece of software for packaging
can improve it and clarify dependencies.
