Better still: use the page:

i don't know, it sounded like a mind job, i'm not familiar with building
rpm's, and i'm not going to start now, i have too much stuff going, i'm
sure there's an easier way.. no?

(which BTW was the *first* hit with the google search "awn suse") to get exact
instructions how to build an rpm package from this particular tarball.

The lesson to learn from this is, that if you want to install a nifty new
package, it is *always* a good idea to google for "<nifty-new-package> suse".

now, why haven't i thought of that?!
