This is an interesting idea, though there may be one issue. Do we know
how Fedora people create those snapshots? Let's say, hypothetically,
there are two different output drivers in mplayer's SVN tree - let's
name them CoolOutput_Linux and CoolOutput_BSD. Can we be sure that
Fedora guys simply don't strip out the parts that they can't/will
never use, so we end up with a snapshot package that lacks
CoolOutput_BSD?
