I built these versions for FC1; however, they are actually older than the 
-17.3.legacy versions.  I didn't realize at the time that FC2 already had a -18 
version.  You should install the -17.3.legacy versions for the latest FC1 
update.  RPM will require that you give it the --oldpackage option because of 
the version numbering.  I guess we could bump the epoch but it would really be 
preferable if we could avoid that.
