Lubomir,

I read the thread.  My take on it was exactly what you said, "it just doesn't
grant the user the freedom to modify the program to suit his needs."   My take
as a user of the program is that I'd much rather see the package in the
distribution.  I just don't care about the freedos portion, as honestly that's
not the part that I would feel I need to modify to "suit my needs."  And even
so, the code is there if I want to see it, even if I can't compile it.

If debian is willing to ship it as-is Fedora should most certainly be willing
to.

While I agree that long-term it would be BETTER to get the code compiling using
the Fedora build tools, I think it would behoove users to have access to the
program as-is sooner, rather that block distribution waiting on this.

To quote many people from the IETF:  The Perfect is the enemy of The Good.

Just my $0.02.
