If you don't already set IGNORE based upon the linux osrelease it would
be a good idea to do so before you commit this. And I think we need a
repocopy from fc4 for this.

As long as it works with fc4 and fc6...

When we change this we also need to change the portrevision. If you
want to commit it, go ahead. I was waiting for a functional change to
the fc4 port to commit this at the same time.

If you don't want to commit this to fc4, just integrate it into fc6.
