Great :). Note that if you remove the /usr/local/CrossPack directory, 
things will stop working. This is caused by the bin dir having scripts 
instead of the actual binaries. Get the scripts from Arduino's bin dir.

I could not find a bootloader for the RFA1 on the uracoli sources, but 
it exists, because the deRFA I have is loaded with it. You can try 
compiling the Arduino Mega version with MCU=atmega128rfa1 and a clock of 
8MHz, since the core is basically the same. You can find the fuse 
settings in the boards.txt file. However I'd suggest waiting for Axel to 
send you the file :).
What kind of programmer do you have handy ? I would suggest getting a 
JTAG just in case you really mess with the clocks and ISP becomes unusable.

If you want to make a big impression on your conf, try WiBo, that will 
let you update the firmware wirelessly and in parallel :). At that point 
you'll be far from Arduino Land thought.
