Well, the screen-scraper might be a lightweight option...
the one with soap4r works great, but I had to install:
  - soap4r
  - rexml
  - http-access2
  - devel-logger

And I'm not sure any of these work with raa-install. I *thought*
the first one was working... but I couldn't find any of the
samples and such, unless I installed manually. And I had to do
them one at a time, since I could only discover dependencies
by the "run and crash" method.

Or to be fair, it might be in the docs. :) :)

Is raa-install currently healthy? It's supposed to be self-updating,
but "raa-install -i raa-install" doesn't work for me.

Cheers,
Hal
