That's not really an OSS problem...Redhat all of a sudden started putting
the term stuff in the right place, broke everyone's programs who followed
the broken method... a symlink fixes it. And really, I wouldn't call that
much of a showstopper at all.

Have you tried using the 2.0.x driver with 2.1.x? I'm curious to see if
they'll run together....probably not..but.....
