This kind of integration is one of its major strong points, yes; and as
it continues to gain users, extensions will also proliferate. It's the
Participation Age, baby...

Well Tom I am impressed. I couldn't get scmbug to install on freebsd so
I eventually gave up.
I would love to integrate them though. Which OS do you use? Can you let
me in on how you fugured it out?
Thanks for any help.

Are you replying to me? I haven't installed anything yet so I have 
nothing that I can let you in on. I will be using Fedora Core 5 so I'll 
let you know if it proves to be too tricky.
