Excelent!  Do keep us posted, and if it works for you, be prepared 
to help other newbies get started with the rpms.  Most of us here 
tend to build from scratch, using the same old configure script to 
build each succeeding release so we each have a personal bag of 
tricks.  That way, its very rare that we actually see a difference 
when we install a new version unless we're looking at a specific 
item known or wished to be next on the hit list to fix.

This mailing list is, by and large, fairly clean of spam, or my 
filters are suddenly working 100%.  What I'm trying to say is that 
the signal to noise ratio is tolerable, and the newbees do need a 
seasoned user to hold their hand until the new wears off the bee.
