Update!

Replaced chkconfig function in %pre scriptlet with LSB compliant functions: 
install_initd and remove_initd. Fixes S & K rc link problem.

SuSEconfig is now called. This is called directly from the %post script so ALL 
stdout is directed to the user's shell(in both shell and kpackage processes). 
Up-side ---- this provides user with an account of what actually is going on 
with the system. Instead of just processing blindly.

Packages are now digitally signed using GPG. I utilized my own package signing 
key. However, numerous other keys may also sign on top of mine ------ 
hint-hint ----- core developers.

I still need input on the congratulatory note!!!!
