Been doing static builds for rtorrent for quite a long time...

Shouldn't be too much of an issue.
and an unknown version of pkgconfig (latest is 0.23, C5 has 0.21, from
the webpage it seems the C5 version won't be enough).
This one might be tricky :-(
Not sure if you can work around this... maybe using static versions of
the libs? Not very clean though.
I'm afraid there's no clean way of dealing with this other than
a) Patching the sources to make them buildable with old libs
b) Doing static builds against new libs
Even though b) might not look too clean, a) is just unpractical (read
impossible). Which leaves us with static builds which one can satisfy
(Python 2.6 is clearly a no-go)...
well then it sounds great if you can get around the pkgconfig problem,
which should be compile-time not runtime (from what little I've read of
pkgconfig).
So, if you (Yury) or someone else finds some time to package
transmission I'm sure people will be happy - I would definitely be
willing to test the package :-) .
Meanwhile I received a private email from Bill (the OP) saying he had
backed down to deluge-0.5.8.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64 and that it worked for
him. But I suspect he'ld be happy to try a leaner, faster, better client
if it was available!
