This change is a result of the new "multiarch" changes for Natty (and I
now know more about multiarch than I really wanted to learn!).

So we (I) will need to fix these packages so they will build in Natty.
I do already have a pretty hackish workaround, that seems to let it
compile on Natty, but that kind of thing won't do for a real release.

Is there someone "upstream" (the authors or maintainers of trustedqsl
and tqsllib source code) I can contact to discuss this with?  For
example, I'm now interested in why tqsllib defines its own unique check
functions for various libraries, instead of using the standard
autoconf-provided AC_CHECK_LIB macro in the configure.ac file (which,
unfortunately, does not seem to be included in the source tarball).

Is Jon Bloom jbloom@xxxxxxxx , the most appropriate contact person?  Or
maybe Rick Murphy, K1MU ?

Thanks,

Jonathan
