"Internal" meant that it is not related to upstream, it is just for the 
RPM build machinery.  I don't like calling it "internal:" because it can 
give exactly this situation, but traditionally this was used for RHEL5.

There are plenty of references to Fedora in the spec files I changed, so 
I thought I would CC the message to the fedora list FYI.  Nevertheless, 
my apologies for the crossposting.  I should have sent two separate 
messages.

The patches work equivalently for koji.
