This time I think we're *really* getting close to a new stable release
(but knock wood ;) I've still some minor details like making installations
with -q actually quiet again on my plate, but the issues are mostly
"cosmetical".
Due to popular demand, I added some compatibility checks for rpm5.org 4.x
versions (5.x is more work due to header interfaces changing completely
and is not going to make it to this release), please check that it
actually builds now. Mind you, not all features of rpm5.org >= 4.4.7 are
supported but the "traditional" bits might have a fair chance at working
out of the box now, unless I've managed to completely f*** up the checks.
Let me know ;)
