Elite, I'm adding some of these in for the next GARNOME release...

Applied. (RH's bison doesn't work? This is really only here for platforms
that don't have bison at all...)

Why are you using this on RH? I've added the =gnu, but left it commented. It
should only be required on 'odd' platforms.

Present locally.

Not applied. ;-)

Applied.

Definitely not applied. ;-)

Not applied. Need to ensure patches are in and releases are out.

Are a lot of people seeing this?

Applied, fuckup on my part, sorry!

Not applied. ;-)

I would very happily apply a patch that allowed any rpm2cpio-using garball
to 'prefer' a system installed one, if anyone feels like sorting this out.
That'd rock.

I don't *really* want to add gdk-pixbuf, 'cos it's 1.x-code, but it is kinda
cool being able to use the 1.x themeage if you're using 1.x stuff. If anyone
feels like doing the autofoo work to make redhat-artwork and ximian-artwork
selectively build the 1.x stuff, that would be very cool.

Thanks very much Paul!
