fyi - I just created a librtlsdr organization on github (
github.com/librtlsdr) and cloned https://github.com/steve-m/librtlsdr to
it.

It would be nice to aggregate a list of the most interesting forks and
attempt to merge some of the features and/or fixes in, and possibly get
this fork tagged as the canonical fork for packages, users, etc. If we can
get some sort of a majority approval that is.

I'll be more than happy to add permissions for people and/or pass it off to
someone that might have more time than myself to manage.

cheers,
joe
