FreeBSD Update is a shell script, so I'd still need to add an rsa-verify program into /usr/sbin, but I'm quite happy to have it statically link my RSA code rather than installing a separate library, if that's what people would prefer. Honestly, I thought that people would complain if I did it that way. Colin Percival
