OK, I have the rpm pf skype which was built for fc18:
skype-4.2.0.11-3.fc18.x86_64.rpm
but it still depends on i686 libs and other components.

I was wondering if there is a way to extract the spec file
from it and rebuild it (i.e. relink it) with 64bit libs, by
editing the spec file, and running rpmbuild ...etc.
