OK, that's fine.  It's just that I always want to see available test suites run
if it's possible to do so.

OK, I can accept that some of the included plugins don't run if optional modules
aren't installed.  Since we have no other way to specify optional modules, can
you create a README.fedora file or somesuch with information about which
optional modules can be installed to give more functionality?  Either that or
split out the plugins with extra dependencies into separate packages that have
those dependencies.

So I just need to install python-ctypes?  Or is the issue that the python
bindings aren't built in the core package because a requisite module is not in
core?  Is it possible to get this plugin working at all with the current state
of the libmusicbrainz packages?  If not, there's probably not much point in
shipping the plugin.

I can buy that; hopefully the libraries will make it in at some point.

I have a plain extremely stock FC5 system.  It would be nice to get another
tester to see if anyone else can duplicate this.  I'll try it on a freshly
installed machine at work, but the remote display will be sloooow.
