No, it's not a good place to start.  It is an excellent place to start. :-)
Thanks for the pointer.

Ok.

True enough.  I'll see if I can't work around it.

Ok, which contrib patch was that?  The only patch I hadn't yet added in was
the NLS stuff.  And thanks for the patch against the current released spec
file -- it helps greatly, as I don't have to do the error-prone hand
applications that way.

I do need to survey the contrib stuff more -- but this prerelease set was
mostly to get the rc2 code out to RPM users quickly.  I still have some
cleanup to do in the packaging, as you noticed. ;-)
