In case it is helpful, here are some notes about the process we went
through for Debian:

Most of these problems (now fixed) are the same things likely to be
needed for Fedora

I also forget to mention before that most of the code also builds on
OpenCSW.  The packaging is blocked there because of Solaris issues
(waiting for OpenCSW to support stlport):
