One minor comment: in setup.hint, sdesc and ldesc are the same.  The above
description looks perfect for ldesc, FWIW.

Ok, here's the review:

The executable is 0 bytes...  This is a showstopper. :-)

The manpage is not compressed, but at 1.8k that hardly matters (although
compression buys about 900 bytes).

Otherwise, the programs builds fine from the source and works great.  Oh,
and when building from source, the manpage *is* compressed. :-p

I'd say, once you replace the binary tarball by the one produced by
building from source, this should be good to go.
