You can take it to Xorg bugzilla if you like, but it'll still probably 
be me looking at it, so I'd slightly prefer just doing it in redhat 
bugzilla.

The tarballs are just git exports of the Intel modesetting branch for 
the day given in the ENVR.  I suppose I could add the timestamp to the 
date string, but xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.0-11.20060713modeset.fc6 is 
already bad enough.
