Excellent. I intend to roll this out for rawhide from tomorrow, though
RC4 is already in there.

For fedora, we're running off the 2.0 branch with some additional
patches, namely (*) indicates Fedora patch for our systems

(*) selinux-ia64
(*) ppc-treading
(*) libdir (use $(libdir) instead of $(prefix)/lib
big-integer-CVE-2007-5197
(*) mcs-config (another $(libdir) bit)
(*) pc files (again redirect to $(libdir))
(*) monoservice (point to $(libdir)/mono)
(*) metadata ($(libdir))
tablelayout (fixes a problem in
MWF.Layout/TableLayoutSettingsTypeConverter.cs that stops you building
from a non-desktop environment)
mimeicon (fixes icon problem if there isn't a mime icon for a file)
BinarySerialization (System.Data/BinarySerialization test)
DataTable (System.Data/DataTable)
StringReplace (corlib/System.Text stringbuilder fixes)

I've attached all of our non-standard patches. The selinux and ppc
threading ones should be of the greatest use.

TTFN
