Do keep in mind that gocr and ocrad are not installed on all systems.
It's great if you put it into the Windows distribution, but on Linux
that is not an option, and spambayes should still work on Linux as well.

On Fedora Core, those two programs are not available unless the system
administrator gets them from some third party repository (gocr (but not
ocrad) is available in freshrpms) or builds them from source.
