Moonlight is a forbidden package by fedora (it is considered too dodgy
due to the unholy pact between Novell and the borg - or something like
that). This means that they will neither ship the source or the built
binaries.

Other examples : MP3, mpeg2 and anything else, which under US law, can
land them in hot water.

For that reason, anything to do with moonlight has to be removed from
the sourceball, therefore the code to build smcs has to go.

TTFN
