Given the name and version number, I presume you just uploaded this nauty:

http://cs.anu.edu.au/~bdm/nauty/

Given the usage restrictions on nauty (cannot redistribute for profit,
cannot use in any application with nontrivial military significance),
we can't have that in Fedora, can we?  I presumed not, which is why
I've been planning to see if I can rip nauty out of polymake
(http://polymake.org/) and replace it with bliss
(http://www.tcs.hut.fi/Software/bliss/).  I haven't gotten around to
starting on that yet, though.

If you've worked out some kind of unrestricted license with the nauty
author, please let me know.  He hasn't been responding to my emails.
Even in that case, this should go into a separate nauty package, not
into Macaulay2, no?
