Whew!  That was quite a response.  Mucho appreciated.

As for the potential need to install development packages, that is not
mentioned anywhere in the requirments, etc.  The list in the README file
only lists a package and a version.  No mention that it possibly needs
development and runtime.

Just to see what would happen, I installed the gmime development package and
sure enough, pkg-config still doesn't know that gmime exists.  Again, IMHO,
the use of pkg-config to find what is installed is unreliable.  Either
directly look for what is needed, or use yum to see if it exists. pkg-config
certainly doesn't do the trick.

So, I am going to get the F16 media from my friend and update to it.  Then
I'm going to install one of the DEs that you've listed, after doing a little
research to see which one I want.

I'll then be able to yum a newer version of pan that has SSL built in.

Thanks for the info.
