Yep, I was thinking 3rd party. So far I have gone through and cataloged
the different parts, and where I think they go in a proper Debian system.
I've also made a list of the Perl modules that come with SlimServer, but
are already available as debs. No sense installing the same thing twice.
The one perl module I can't find already made is HiRes. At that point it
was getting late, and I haven't looked at it again.

I'm working on a few other things (most importantly finding employment) at
the same time, so I've been progressing in spurts. I'm sure I'll have a
question or two for the list before I have it working.
