Thanks for posting the RPMs, Elliot.

I had trouble installing them.  Several shared libraries appear to be
built with bad version numbers.  For example,
gnome-libs-0.99.1-1.i386.rpm provides these files:

	/usr/lib/libgnome.so.31
	/usr/lib/libgnome.so.31.0.0
	/usr/lib/libgnomeui.so.31
	/usr/lib/libgnomeui.so.31.0.0

Judging from the dependencies in some of the other RPMs, it looks like
the major and minor version numbers are reversed.  They seem to need
names like these:

	/usr/lib/libgnome.so.0
	/usr/lib/libgnome.so.0.31.0
	/usr/lib/libgnomeui.so.0
	/usr/lib/libgnomeui.so.0.31.0

These are examples, not a complete list; glib-1.1.11-1.i386.rpm and
gtk+-1.1.11-1.i386.rpm have similar problems.
