Ok then. The 1.4rc2 RPM package is only meant for system installed
(site-packages hierarchy) dependency packages. It's already available
from the SF download area.

I won't post the /usr/local installed freevo package since I built it to
be depedent on a runtime RPM package. SPEC files are available from
contrib/rpm if people are really interested in creating their own
/usr/local and runtime packages (for the rc2 release), but I'll probably
remove them for the next release (1.4 final).
