I got tired of fighting the bugs in par introduced by
the i18n patches, so I removed them from the Fedora

currently only available for development (rawhide), NOT as
an update for Fedora 17 or earlier. Though it does work

Hm, I just tried it on the paragraph above, and it seems to do
alright. Not sure how to easily judge whether or not it's "better"
than par, though. Of course, the line

The par build hints contain a link to a spec file by Volker
Kuhlmann. It works very nicely on Fedora.
