I had good luck just grabbing them from CVS (http://keithp.com/cvs.html)
and doing 'xmkmf; make; sudo make install' in Xc then Xr. Total time,
maybe 2 minutes.

Caveats:

 - I only tested with my installed XFree86 being CVS, not with 4.2.0; should 
   certainly work with the Mike Harris's 4.2.99 snapshots, in any case.
 - This will install files into your installed XFree86 root; it's
   not a huge mess though, since it's only two files per library or so.

I don't think they are ready for Rawhide -- rawhide can be quite raw, but
it's also stuff that we think is going to be ready for the next release;
Once they settle down a bit more, I can look at making unofficial RPMS... 
the main prerequisite there is a tarball and a version number scheme.

But they are pretty easy to install as is if you just want to play around.
