I built them, and the src.rpm is available at the same location it 
anyone's interested in how they work/are built.

The dependency is not on an rpm package, but on libGL.so.1, which both 
XFree86-Mesa-libGL and the Nvidia rpms in question satisfy.

Work is in progress towards unifying the various efforts of packaging 
the Nvidia driver for RH/FC. When that is done, there will be a "3:rd 
party" style apt/yum/up2date repository with a correctly packaged Nvidia 
driver so that Nvidia user can install and keep the driver updated by a 
single command, and require no manual configuration.

(Axel, you might wanna add something here?)
