Someone just pointed out to me that the FC11 rpm for the TightVNC viewer 
installs with no problem on FC10, no need to rebuild it! So that is one 
problem solved, and I will leave well enough alone, other than how do we 
get it into 'general availablity' for Rawhide FC10?

Now I have to see about the server. The FC11 rpm has dependencies that 
are stopping it from installing on FC10, so I will have to try and 
rebuild that....
