I thought that the sources are not compilable any more. The versions of
libraries woudn't match and would be hard to find the appropriate ones.
I think you can just add the src.tgz for each package separately. Only for
programmer's review posibility.
The bin packages should be created normally - package by package - but not
by building the package-src.rpm, however by making bin.rpm using the KGMD
binaries you have.

Linux should have them all ;) When you are finished with the basic
packaging and get working system it would pop up the missing features and
we'll search for the possible replacement (or addition) we need.

the vim, note was quite "in-place", but what about speed? I thing ST many
users will satisfy the elvis there is. I would keep the package there.

Well, I didn't really use MiNT at this level. Is there the whole sendmail
functionality in MiNT? Are there the aliases? Does it work?

Why? Is there any other distribution with such name for this package?

Never say "all" ;))
