Although I agree with most of your comments, two remarks:
- There seem to be a few settings that are different from redhat-rpm-config:
see my thread started with
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2005-February/msg00523....
about rebuilding pango c.s. that was never really answered... OK, I can
imagine what settings it needs, and our local RHEL-rebuild environment
has implemented that ;-), but that's actually a bit of reverse engineering.
At least in FC3 (didn't check FC4t* yet) this was still the issue.
