Well there are a couple of fixes to vim in fc4 that I want on my fc2 
system so I cannot really install the rpms, at least I don't think so 
(gcc4 versus gcc3).   The fixes to vim are a better integration with tag 
files that will display all definitions for a tag so you can choose 
which one vim goes to.  The fc2 vim just goes to the first one so I'm 
running across several bad tag references.  Naively, I thought I could 
find the srpms and then build everything needed.
