New version available, when you have time:

   http://sourceforge.net/projects/barry/files/barry/barry-0.18.3/sources/

I left the hardening checks as-is for now, not overriding them, since
from the conversation on some of the mailing lists:

   http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1024761.html

it is a work in progress, and I want to see the warnings.  But, that said,
I did test with hardening flags, and they were indeed used during the build,
even though some of the lintian checks failed at the end.  I'm hoping the
lintian tests will improve over time.

Let me know if you run into problems with this version.

Thanks!
