[GRASSLIST:6226] Fedora RPMs - success!

I successfully created some Fedora RPMS yesterday.  Although I need to
do some more testing of the RPMS, one question I have is how to deal
with the databases.  The configuration part of the SUSE RPM spec file
was called without allowing databases. I.e.

#    --with-mysql \
#    --with-mysql-includes=/usr/include/mysql/ \
#    --with-mysql-libs=/usr/lib/mysql \
#    --with-odbc  --with-odbc-libs=/usr/lib/
 #  --with-odbc-includes=/usr/include/
#    --with-postgres --with-postgres-includes=/usr/include/pgsql
#  --with-postgres-libs=/usr/lib/ \

are all commented out. 

Should I then build two different RPM versions, one with the databases,
one without?  As a user who uses Postgresql all the time, I would hate
it if I as an enduser had to download the source RPM and recompile it
just to use postgresql.  Alternatively, I certainly understand not
wanting an enduser to have to install all these extra database packages
just to try out GRASS.  

What's the best thing to do here?

Cheers!
Craig
