[Chris Oliver <excid3@xxxxxxxxx>]

You're totally correct here. This is unfortunate for us and forces us to
make Keryx into a deb and have it installed with special logic for searching
/media for projects. This will have to be something we build into 1.0 as I
feel it is not worth it currently to do anything more than fix the
executable on 32 bit and move on to finishing 1.0.

Some good news though, it looks like my roommate and I will be making this
our weekend/freetime project and hopefully pumping out some serious changes
to get 1.0 out the door soon. He's not terribly familiar with Python, but
that won't matter since he knows some ruby, and is a good developer anyways.
