Linux LFS support in argus 2.0.5?

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Mike,
   I took out the support because there was a bug in
it and the configure.in was actually broken, so it
was inconsistent as to whether you would get the feature
or not.

   Fixing this is very high on my list, so if you will
bear with me, we can have a 2.0.6.beta.1 that will
have the support, possibly today/Friday.  If you would
be willing to be a guinea pig for the testing, I would
really appreciate it.
