I forgot about the compat-* rpms in fc4 (gone in fc5, fyi).

But I don't think we should put compat-* rpms in the linux base port.
Depending on old compat libs is not very "basic".

If compat libs are needed, they should probably go in a separate port
or ports.

And perhaps that port should named with "-compat-" to emphasize that
it contains less (or not at all) actively supported packages and for
easier searches.
