Hello All,
I've been doing some work on getting graphviz updated, and I'd like some 
opinions on some things.

Looking at the various source rpm's, including our original one, I 
really like the one that actually comes from graphviz.  It is very well 
written and self documented.
But there are a couple of problems.

1 - By default, graphviz-lua isn't built.  In SL 5  we have the package 
graphviz-lua but lua isn't in Scientific Linux 5. Does anyone mind if we 
drop graphviz-lua from the release?

2 - By default, graphviz-ocaml isn't built.  In SL 5 we have the package 
graphviz-ocaml, but ocaml, or even caml, isn't in Scientific Linux 5. 
Does anyone mind if we drop graphviz-ocaml from the release?

3 - By default, graphviz-php isn't built.  In SL 5 we have the package 
graphviz-php. But the build is failing whenever we try to build 
graphviz-php.  I'm worried that we need a newer version of php for this 
to build.  Does anyone mind if we drop graphviz-php from the release? 
If nobody is using it, then I'm not sure if it is worth the effort to 
debug the build.  But if some people are using it, then I'll give it 
some more work.

4 - By default, PANGOCAIRO is turned on.  Florian La Roche wants this 
turned off so that it doesn't pull in all the Pango and Cairo 
dependancies.  But when I look at Cairo and Pango, it says
"Cairo is a vector graphics library designed to provide high-quality
display and print output."
"Pango is a system for layout and rendering of internationalized text."
To my untrained eye, it really looks like we want this.  graphviz is 
used all around the world, and don't people want the printouts and 
displays to look nice?

Thoughts from everyone?
Thanks
Troy
