window has many perl packages and some other packages installed from rpmforge
with:

 yum --enablerepo=rpmforge install <X>

But rpmforge is not actually currently enabled for updates, so we have lots of
random old versions that have been replaced on rpmforge.

This isn't acceptable - if we want packages from rpmforge, we have to deal with
the update stream.

So, we need to:

 * sync the includepkgs for rpmforge.repo up with the version on menubar and in
puppet (window probably will be one of the last machines to puppetize, because
of the complexity of configuration)

 * remove or downgrade to epel/rhel other currently installed non-perl packages
from rpmforge. See:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-infrastructure/2009-July/msg00125.html

and the followup from Olav.

 * Enable rpmforge.repo

 * Run 'yum update' to update all the perl packages from rpmforge

 * Test RT3 carefully to ensure it's still operating properly with the perl
package upgrades.
