Wow, this is great! I had a project[1] on the shelf involving a port
of RPM 3.0.7 that I hadn't had time lately to clean up and submit.
Now that you've got it running, I can move up to RPM 4.

I'll study the patches and see about submitting it. Did you plan on
submitting it as a maintained port? If not, I wouldn't mind
volunteering to be the RPM maintainer, in case you don't have the time
and/or interest in being the maintainer.
