IIRC that was a 1.6.1.0 release candidate with a bunch of patches
backported from trunk.  Time passed and what was trunk then is now a
1.6.2.0 release candidate, so we can at least work from a minimally
patched tarball.  The patches are mostly just getting Asterisk to
build in the "Fedora" way, without adding any functionality.  I'm also
going to see what it takes to build on RHEL, but I may have to disable
some functionality that depends on libraries that aren't new enough in
RHEL.
