--- Comment #13 from John Morris <john at zultron.com> ---
I'm looking at this link:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries

In the rest of the document defines a 'library' very loosely.  It's pretty much
any reusable code, whether compiled or not.

'Copylibs' are an exception; it sounds like they're snippets that are copied
and pasted.  I don't think PyCXX qualifies.

Otherwise, none of other usual exceptions seem to apply.  There are no
significant modifications to PyCXX that FreeCAD needs.  PyCXX is released
separately from pysvn and released regularly.

If we want an exception, we can apply for one with FPC.  I'd need help with the
argument; if one's not convinced himself, it's hard to convince others.  ;)

If we did decide to package this, it sounds like we would be supposed to file a
duplicate library bug against the pysvn package.  I guess it wouldn't cause the
maintainer too much grief since this package should be easy enough to point to.
