Sorry, Craig, but I didn't see a REPOSITORY OF APTIFIED WBEL4 PACKAGES 
at that location -- but thank you for the effort.

Additionally, the packages I see at 
http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/SRPMS.dag/, the reference Dag's 
stuffing into the apt.conf in those apt packages seem to be his own 
packages;  again, not exactly the official RPMs I'm needing here, in 
addition to not quite a practice I'd endorse except at gunpoint.

As I said, the effort was good but the result wasn't right, exactly. 
Anyone else with a better lead?
