I guess that is what I'm asking.  Is anyone using lua and/or ocaml?
I don't want to put in a new language if nobody is using it.
I also don't want a regular Scientific Linux package dependant on 
packages that are outside of the distribution.  I know that currently, 
graphviz is dependant on outside packages, and I'm trying to fix that.

lua - I've heard of several people using it.  Nobody has asked for it, 
but I do know of several people using it.  It shouldn't be too hard to 
maintain if it is already in EPEL.  I'm ok with putting it into SL if 
anyone wants me to.

ocaml - I haven't heard of anyone using it.  You say that you haven't 
heard of anyone using it.  If anyone is using ocaml, I can see a 
justification for putting it in, but if it is/was a "flash in the pan" 
programming language, I really don't want to put it in.

Thank you for the patch, I'll put it in.
Have you sent this to the original graphviz people?  Maybe they might 
want to change their PHP entry to have an option for php 4 or php 5.
