Call for savior - ikvm

There's a package that failed the mass rebuild for GCC 4.3 due to the
fact that it's shipping binary blobs, in violation of the packaging
guidelines.  The package will not build with the binary blobs removed,
therefore it will need to be blocked if the situation cannot be
quickly remedied.  There is an active upstream and our package is out
of date, however, the current upstream tarball also contains binary
blobs, however. it's not clear to me not being a mono developer
whether those are required or not - there's a lot more in the upstream
tarball than ours.

It also seems, but is not clear to me again, that the current upstream
tarball is in violation of
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Mono#head-6635c736011474fcbbc900285de0d9b0977cde1b
as well.

Any takers?
