The reason I bring up the guile dependencies in particular is they're
the only tricky part in getting rpms made, since without an upstream,
they're unlikely to get accepted.  Otherwise I'd be happy to contribute
those as well to fedora.

gpp4/mmdb/ssm and clipper are already available, or will be soon:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435015
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435016
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435017
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435018

most of these packages are patched to include pkgconfig support, which
I'm attempting to get upstream to include (so the mmdb/mmdb-ssm and
clipper m4 macros can be dropped in favor of PKG_CHECK_MODULES).

and I've started the process for the refmac ligand dictionary and coot:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472149
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472150

The coot submission does not include the guile dependencies (at the
moment, if the deps are updated to supported versions or included with
coot, that can change).

I also noticed several macros (such as guile-gtk.m4, mmdb.m4,
mmdb-ssm.m4) assume <prefix>/lib is the proper library location - this
might result in 32 and 64 bit library clashes during a build.  Why not
let the linker define them (using AC_CHECK_LIB perhaps)?  I can write a
few patches, if you'd like.
