I think most people agree that gnome-common isn't something that should
be packaged (at least that's true for Fedora/Red Hat distros), as gnome-
common is a development tool, to build from CVS. I think it should be
removed altogether from the FTP site, so as not to create confusion.

If somebody is going to compile a program from CVS, they might as well
check out gnome-common at the same time.
