How much actual porting is involved on the releases for FC1? I haven't 
touched many of the desktop related utilities, but have recompiled 
things like Apache/PHP/MySQL/SSL (i.e., server related packages) for RH8 
and 7.3. I've also made some very minor changes to SPEC files to get 
them to compile.
