i'd noticed that, i tried to follow the code at least a little way
before i get hauled back to real work.  :-)

$ wget --version
GNU Wget 1.10.2 (Red Hat modified)
... blah blah snipped ...

i realized that that was a workaround, so i tried that as well:

==========
$ ./ltib

ltib cannot be run because one or more of the host packages needed
to run it are either missing or out of date.

Please install/upgrade these packages and then re-try.

   mind you, i'm trying all this as a *non-root* user so i'm well
aware that it can't possibly finish, but even as a non-root user, the
early tests for package dependencies should still work properly, yes?
