I think it would be great if this were under the kernel-ppa site rather
than my own directory.  I've attached the script I used.  It's a bit of
a hack so feel free to clean it up :)  It's also not efficient because
we should only need to get the existing version mapping once and then
just update for any new release.  Anyways, let me know when this is
available from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa and I'll turn off my
cron and redirect to the new page.

Thanks,
Leann
