I've been meaning to get this packaged up for Extras for some time now, 
but haven't actually been able to get around to it.  If someone wants to 
help out, that would be appreciated.  It would pretty much need to build 
with the same options and patchset (more or less) that we do for the 
thunderbird and firefox builds.  Since Nvu is not based off the exact 
same branch, that proves to be slightly more difficult.  Anyway, this 
discussion belongs on fedora-extras-list, not here.
