Thanks, these are helpful.  A couple of minor suggestions:

(1) http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/fonts/ recommends the 
Mathematica 4.1 fonts over the 4.2 fonts pretty strongly for this 
application.

(2) I know unzip is commonly included in FC installs, but it should still 
be a BuildRequires for the Mathematica spec.

(3) How does one make a nosrc.rpm from these?
