Thanks Chris!  A while ago I basically "stole" your package from
RHEL sources and redid it for FC4.  It really should be basically
the same thing for earlier distributions.  An URL for source rpm was
posted on this list and a number of people is aware of it. :-)
Right now it needs an update, of course, but this should be
straightforward.

As a matter of fact I got impatient waiting for a resolution of
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195318
and did a similar thing for FC5 too.  That one has bigger
differences because it is using "external" packages for nss and nspr
(and some other minor things).
