+Dependencies
+
+  * RT - 3.4.1 - 
+       The version at rt.planet-lab.org is 3.4.1 and is incompatible with later
+       versions of the command line tool.  
+
+       The RPM pulls in *ALOT* of stuff; probably easier to work with from the
+       source package, especially, since all that's needed is the command line
+       tool.  It has far fewer dependencies than the full RT package.
+
+  * MySQL-python
+       python module necessary for connecting to the mysql RT database and
+       extracting a list of open and new tickets.
+
+  * util/PHPSerializer/PHPUnserializer
+       these are helper scripts for converting pickle objects into php serialize
+       objects and back.
