Done. The requires_exceptions now works.

Isn't that the problem, that nobody cares?
The upstream package and the mandrake package have been unmaintained for 2
years now. So apparently nobody cares about it.
But it seems that it requires perl-DB_File, which wasn't caught be the rpm
scripts. It works now, sort of.

It also needs iSiloX to convert html to pdb, but that has a too restricted
license to include it:
http://www.isilox.com/download/iSiloXC386.htm
It's only available as binary, and not allowed to modify it. So it can only
download something as html, and that makes the software a lot less
interesting. Wget is just as usefull then, right?
