Well, I am hoping to release 0.8.X semi-soon (was hoping by the end of
October, but there are still a few pieces of information from a vendor I
want to put in before I release).  So maybe the 0.7.X line for the time
being.  Depending on demand, I do plan to maintain the 0.7.X line for a
little bit past the release of 0.8.X.

These shouldn't be necessary, b/c libipmimonitoring and libipmiconsole
(the libs, not the tools) link to libfreeipmi.  Did you install and hit
a problem?
