Ok, looks even better.  One more question about pruned stuff:

What's the problem with including the DVD reading functionality in this 
package?  The capability to read data from encrypted DVDs is not implemented 
directly in xine-lib as far as I can tell.  Based on some recent discussions 
in private mail with spot, that would be the only real problem with including 
DVD reading libraries in Fedora.

The ability to read unencrypted DVDs would be useful to have.  And even though 
the actual MPEG data on them couldn't be decoded in software with packages in 
Fedora, there are hardware solutions to that, such as the em8300/dxr3 cards 
supported by the em8300* packages in FE, and probably full-featured DVB cards 
(ie. ones that have a MPEG decoder chip).  Enabling libdvdnav in xine-lib 
would also allow enabling the dxr3 hardware MPEG decoding functionality in it.  

The dxr3 functionality here is associated with libavcodec, rte, and fame, all 
of which can't be included in Fedora, but they're only used to re-encoded 
non-MPEG content to MPEG for feeding to the em8300 devices.  MPEG playback 
with em8300 requires none of those.
