Go with RPM 4.  Many of the new packages RPM 3.05 will *not* be able to handle
merely based on the version numbers!  For example, for some reason, I couldn't
get the XF86 RPM to install unless i had RPM 4, because 3.05 whined and said
"Can't install packages with version numbers >= 3..."  (I guess I can do a
force, but I really hate that...)

In the black wind the stars shall die,
and still on gold here let them lie,
till the dark lord lifts his hand
over dead sea and withered land.
