Yes, i betcha there are quite a few people that go to the download page
and then they're like "where's the RPM?" :-/

True. Anyway, that's the minimum that one has to learn w.r.t. re-
building RPMs.

Good idea.
Dag Wieers has a pretty big FC/RH repo that carries the stable openvpn
releases, i'm sure he will build 2.0 packages if you ping him. The nice
thing is that he compiles the packages on a lot of different versions of
those distributions:

lzo for RH/FC can be found both on dag.wieers.com and on freshrpms.net
(the latter is only for FC3 but it's the only one i tested):
