FWIW I was not suggesting or recommending RHEL5 as a dev platform for
GnuCash, only as the base platform for users building from the tarball.
Or, more likely, Bill Nottingham building a package.

This I consider an issue..  But I think it's probably okay for now.
Hopefully we can deal with the DBI issue, and I'm sure that Bill can
get WebKit into EPEL when he's ready to upgrade his package.
