Matt Domsch at Dell is working on getting the ppp_mppe module included
in the upstream kernel. It's a long process though. A possible problem
with providing a separate package for this module is that it requires
patching (and hence replacing) the existing ppp_generic module. I don't
know what the best way of doing that is. My intention was to wait for
the module to appear upstream.

I already do the packages on the website there, and could import those
in extras. However, as far as I know, php-gtk currently requires PHP4
(compiled with pcntl support, which is not included in FC3). It really
would be better if it could be ported to something a bit more modern
like PyGTK. Unfortunately that's beyond my abilities.
