I took a glance at Aaron's suggested layout and came up with
these points...

* How about emacs-19.34? it might be nice to standardize
  versions across Athena platforms. Also, maybe have an option
  not to install the .el files.

* Do we really need to provide dvips as an Athena package? (Isn't
  there a workable RPM? Likewise for mf, postscript

* moira -- maybe want the newest clients (perhaps for security
  reasons)? Ask danw. 

* Ensure named stuff works happily with whatever version of BIND
  ships with 4.3.
  
* misc --- how about these packages?
