Ahh - there is a part of the problem; I use either FreeBSD or Debian for my 
mail servers...not an RPM in sight and I needed a common way of doing 
upgrades.  Using the tar ball releases is the only way I've found to do it 
between these two platforms, but that means I have to roll-my-own upgrades.

Oh well, c'est la vie :)
