The options I see in decreasing order of preference are:
1) Get the asc maintainers to take over maintenance of SDLmm and paragui
2) Create paragui/paragui-devel and SDL-mm/SDL-mm-devel packages from
the asc source tarball.
3) Use a private copy of SDL-mm and paragui inside the asc binary rpm.
If you've explored #1 and are planning on doing #2 I have no objections.
If you're going to do #3 I'd like to know why you favor it over #2.
