NTFS module

I am using the latest rawhide.  There is no kernel source code in the
rawhide directory.  How can I get NTFS read access into my kernel?  Before
people jump on me and say download it from
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/index.html, they are no longer
maintaining the website.  The last FC3 NTFS module they have posted is for
2.6.7-1.478.  The kernel in rawhide is 2.6.8-1.451.  I don't want to
recompile my whole kernel just for ntfs support.  

I was able to just compile the NTFS module and load it myself.  I changed
the .config to include ntfs as a module, then I used the make modules
SUBDIRS=fs/ntfs command and it compiled the module, I made a directory for
the ko and copied it there, did a depmod -a and then I could mount my ntfs
partition.  The kernel changed from using SUBDIRS= to O= and this broke.  So
how can I compile just the NTFS module without recompiling the whole kernel?

Thanks,

Jason
