Got it, thanks! "2.2.0-rc1" does sort higher than the currently
available 2.0.5 version, and passes the build-as-nobody test. Would it be out
for place for me to ask why "2.2.0-RC1" passed 'fink validate' just fine, but
failed the build-as-nobody validation test? I had assumed both validation
tests were identical...
