Bluez packages in FC6

A while ago, I updated bluez-libs to the new 3.x version, since it had a
new soname and I wanted to make sure anything using it got rebuilt
against the new version.

The plan was to update bluez-utils and replace the horrid bluez-pin
package with the shiny new bluez-gnome, but other things (mostly OLPC
hardware bringup) have been taking priority.

I've now found the time to do the bluez stuff, and have set it up for
testing -- I appreciate that it's fairly late to be doing this, but I'd
like to do the minor update of bluez-libs to 3.6, along with the update
of bluez-utils from its ancient 2.25 version to 3.6. That will require
building bluez-gnome in place of bluez-pin, too.

Yes, it's far later than I'd like to be doing this, but the alternative
is that we end up swapping them out _later_ in an erratum, which is
_far_ more likely to be problematic. I've can make some time now to do a
proper test of bluez stuff in advance of the fc6 release, and in fact I
have a strong suspicion that after what I've done today, the new
packages have probably had _more_ testing than the old ones in rawhide.
Hands up those who've actually done any testing of bluetooth stuff in
rawhide...?

I've got packages just about ready to go; I'm still working on testing
the stuff which is _known_ to be broken in rawhide but which shouldn't
be broken with the new packages. I'd like to put them into FC6.

Comments, objections?
