Well, I think the layout is not the same as that recommended in
install.texi.  Also there is no XEmacs support.  It would appear that
just waiting for things to pop up in Sumo at some time is bound to
cause huge delays.  So it might be a reasonable idea to offer an RPM
of our own.

I had at some time started to do something like it, but it is not
completed and certainly never was actually used.  I'll just tag the
diff file on at the end so that you might get an idea.
