Yes :
1) Wait for the next xorg update to FC4 (and hopefully/maybe FC3 too),
   which should "Provides:" all of these new libraries.
2) Use some spec file macros like we are doing in rpmforge and in
   Fedora Extras. You'll have to pass options like "--define 'dist fc4'"
   or "--define 'fedora 4'" to rpmbuild, though.
