I heard that Costco (a discounting volume retailer) has the grey-box
(MacMillan?) version of RH6.0 for $25...

It is defined in src/Makefile.global. We would need to be able to
check for both OS (linux) and architecture (alpha); perhaps Bruce's
recent change to give a "CPU" variable is just what we need. I'll add
the PORTNAME check to the relevant Makefile.

If you can send patches for what you have changed, I can incorporate
them into an RPM for testing (built on a RH5.2-i686 box, but the
source rpm can be rebuilt on yours).
