[Remind-Fans] ARM Port?

[yard-ape at telus.net]

Remind is on the Zauus!  (The hardest part was installing the 
cross-compiling rpms, actually.  Thanks for the neat code, David, et. al.)

The next step is the GUI.  This isn't a huge priority for me; I pipe 
remind through awk to produce plain-text timetables.   Nonetheless, it 
really would be nice to have out there.  I fancy a simple new Qt 
interface: that's Zaurus's native Desktop, and then it would be there 
for the KDE folk, as well.  Again, I'll see what I can do, and post 
(much) later.  I've never programmed Qt before.  Any pointers, 
suggestions, leads welcome.
