In the short term it is easier to just patch our Extras package and 
rebuild into the repository, but be sure you also try to get the patches 
into upstream, so *somebody else* maintains it in the long term instead 
of you.

What do you mean by "core package"?  Is this Core or Extras?

If it is core, prep a SRPM for me, post it and assign the bug to me and 
I'll apply to Core CVS and build.
