Well, though absent in FC5, I just recently saw a message somewhere
indicating the lvm2-cluster package was back in FC6 testing.  Anyone
have any idea why this was dropped for FC5?  I built off of the lvm2
source rpm, using a modified lvm2-cluster spec file from FC4.  Looks ok.

If anyone has reason to believe this is a really bad idea, or wants the
srpm or rpm, feel free to drop me a line.
