Don't bother--just use use sugarcrm [1].

It's Free Software and we have been using it here at GAIA Host Collective for 
a month or so and so far has been working well.  We are multiple people, 
often in different locations working at different times, so a free, web-based 
CRM solution solution is handy.  We are tracking leads, lead source, phone 
calls, then turning leads into accounts, etc., etc., etc.  The reporting is 
clever--they generate flash graphs dynamically from the database (MySql + 
PHP).

They have a plugin architecture so you can add the pieces you want.    They 
recently kicked off a develop site to facilitate plugin development 
(sugarforge.com, I think).  It's all on their site.
