/me (still a lurking Fedora dev) wonders if clanlib0.6 maintenance indeed is 
such a pain? I've checked the changelog's of both the debian and the Fedora 
package's and there doesn't seem to be a lot of churn there.

Notice by the way, that the Fedora version is using lua-0.5 (Debian 0.4) and 
the latest mikmod beta (which comes with some nice features and bugfixes), so 
it is quite possible to maintain ClanLib-0.6 without having to keep older 
versions of other stuff around.
