Thanks for this info.  I'll update the package for SuSE Linux.  I never
saw 0.5.4 officially released; amk flagged it as an "release candidate":

    From: "Andrew M. Kuchling" <akuchlin@mems-exchange.org>
    Subject: 0.5.4 release candidate
    To: xml-sig@python.org
    Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2000 12:12:51 -0400 (EDT)

Demos coming with 0.5.4 are mostly working; I'll issue a separate
report.

Thanks for this service.

Thanks for the pointer.  I'll do something alogn these lines (depending
on our "feature freeze" for 7.0).
