It looks like current debian/ubuntu package it.
% aptitude search libwww
....
p   libwww0             - The W3C WWW library

You're right.  It seems the last work was in Dec-06.
If the rpm is no joy, you could check it out of the CVS server and compile
perhaps:
http://www.w3.org/Library/cvs.html#Releases
Although the ubuntu package is using 5.4.0 (~2003) and the latest is 5.4.1
(2006).  Might be safer to go with 5.4.0.  But I'm not an expert - just had
a look at it.
