Nope. Not at all. We'd love to support everyone, but until we can, we're
more than happy to have people get versions of our software any way they
can.

Just to be clear. This RPM should only be labelled 0.7.6 if it was made off
a clean copy of the 0.7.6 sources. If it was made from a current CVS view
of the tree, then using the date as a version number would be a much better
idea.
