A couple of requests for FC-6

[Robin Norwood]

Jose,

I've looked over the changes for the various packages listed below, and
I don't think any of them will pass muster from the release team for
inclusion in fc6 post test3.  If you disagree, let me know and I'll take
another look.

I'll look at getting the updated packages and the path issue sorted out
next week - I'm on vacation this week, and internet access is spotty at
best.

Thanks,

-RN
