Thanks, applied.

Just FYI, support for old rpm versions (minimum required version is going 
to be at least 4.1 which is the first rpm with the "new api") is going to 
be removed at some point in not-so-distant future, the distroverpkg-stuff 
was actually supposed to be only available for new rpm's anyway but seems 
I forgot to add the relevant #ifdef's around it :)
