The newly-created Fedora Extras package for libconfuse can be rebuilt on
any of these platforms, apr and expat are already available (and can be
upgraded w/rebuilt srpms from later distros, if absolutely necessary,
but I'm reasonably confident what's in RHEL4 is sufficiently new enough,
and positive RHEL5 isn't a problem).

I'm assuming the SUSE packager can handle this one easily enough.

FC5 is no problem, it'll have all the necessary components in Core and
Extras, once I push through a libconfuse build.

Sounds like Debian is good to go, so Ubuntu is probably in fine shape
here too.

Easy enough to remedy.

I still think it is, more or less echoing the arguments others have
already put forward. :)
