Announcing a test RPM release -- 7.1.1-4.PGDG.

The only change from 7.1.1-2.PGDG is the addition of a dynamic Python version
configuration -- this has only been tested fully on my RedHat 7.1 box as yet,
but I am awaiting the results of Justin's rebuild on Mandrake 8.0.

Feedback appreciated. For use on Mdk8, you must rebuild from the source RPM
- -- note that some things Mandrake is shipping with their RPM's are not
included with this one, as this one is trying to be generic, not
distribution-specific. I recommend using the RPM's shipped with the
distribution you are using (or updates designed for it), unless you just
_have_to_have_ newer functionality, or you want to help make the RPM's better
for the generic case.

If you have already downloaded and installed the -2 release, you do not need
to download the binaries of this one -- the change is on the building side of
the RPM's, not the installation side.

That being said, I am analyzing the changes made by the Mandrake Team, and
will likely include many of their changes as I have time, and as those
changes can be made generic. I especially like the inclusion of logo icons
in the Mandrake set.... :-) However, I prefer the elephant inside the
diamond logo rather than the outline 'cartoon' elephant. :-)

I'm also hoping to cryptographically sign RPM releases RSN -- but I have to
get it working on more than one machine first.
