DGA from XF 4.0 (DGA2.0)

Great news for me.

These packages are mainly used by PLD users and right now we already have
three happy mplayer users because it's faster than avifile :) But they are
using it for too short time right now and their opinion may change.

I don't know since I'm using GIMP from our rpm and it works fine.
There can be problems if you mix packages form various distributions
etc.

src rpms are _of course_ also avilable. Just rpm --rebuild mplayer*.src.rpm
Moreover we have everything in CVS, so user can just do:
cvs -d... login etc
cd rpm/SPECS; cvs up builder; ./builder -bb mplayer.spec
to build package (builder downloads all required sources and runs rpm
to generate package).

dependencies tracking, you to what package specified file belongs
automation in upgreade and other usefull things (very usefull if
you manage few servers itp)

Maybe in this case it will be better but in general packages are
good thing (tm).
