You can save the RedHat-9 packaging directory from the
3.0.25pre2 release an continue to use that.  But you'll
have to update it from time to time as things change.
That's what I'm trying to get away from.

It's the one-big-rpm vs. multiple-rpm packaging layout.
There will be other things possibly but generally should
still work.
