What would it take to get mcrypt and mhash libraries to be part of the
Fedora Core?  Could someone interested build the rpms?  I need mcrypt
modules for a php project here at work. I would *consider* doing this in
the hopes that it would make life easier for others.

I've never built or maintained an RPM so I might be overdoing myself
here, but I am willing to learn.  I have around 5 years linux experience
and have yet to contribute directly.
