Yes, because dpkg --compare-versions is doing the major work ;)
And the RPM deb is available for FC1, AFAIK.

I have a second Version with another rpm-version comparing tool.
Compile rvc (attached) and change the call in the python script. The test of 
the return codes has to changed too.

this part has to be changed:
              argz=['dpkg','--compare-versions',parsed[1],'lt',packages[parsed[0]]]
              rc=os.spawnvp(os.P_WAIT,'dpkg',argz)
              if rc==2: continue
              if rc==0:
                 print "\tDeleting",file
                 if not dryrun: os.unlink(dir+file)
                 continue
              elif rc==1:
                 print "\tDeleting",fnames[parsed[0]]
                 if not dryrun: os.unlink(dir+fnames[parsed[0]])

My RPMs are signed, you can import my rpm-key from here:
