For some reason, this hasn't worked for me. When I've tried to make KM|Net
News a "distributed" Product, it does not show up in the add list. That is
why my solution for distribution thus far has been to export it and have
people import the Product (this also has the added bonus of allowing people
to tinker with the code).
