Up to [Public] / rpm2html

Added recursion, SuSE packages, preparing to ship 0.50, Daniel.

                README for rpm2html
		    Version 0.50

Rpm2html tries to solve 2 big problems one face when
grabbing a RPM package from a mirror on the net and trying to
install it:

   - it gives more information than just the filename before
     installing the package.
   - it tries to solve the dependancy problem by analyzing all
     the Provides and Requires of the set of RPMs. It shows the
     cross references by the way of hypertext links.

The second point will only be efficient if the actual number of
RPM indexed is important.
I can see two usages for this software:

   - indexing mirrors sites (e.g. Sunsite, RedHat and their
     mirrors world wide).
   - indexing CD-ROM before shipping to provide an easier view
     of the packages available using the standard tool (an HTML
     browser).

 Check INSTALL for installation instruction.
