[PlanetCCRMA] ntfs module fc2

[Anders Vinjar]

Thanks for the hints, which helped solve problem with the missing
ntfs-module on the 2.6.7-1.437 kernel from ccrma.

Didnt find any Makefile to change EXTRAVERSION in.  I see theres
a reference in ./build-2.6 to EXTRAVERSION somewhere which might
be used.

What solved it was as simple as renaming the src.rpm from ccrma
to match the output from `unama -a`.src.rpm.  Using the following
commandline to build the ntfs-module:

./build-2.6 kernel-module-ntfs.spec kernel-2.6.7-1.437.1.ll.rhfc2.ccrma.src.rpm i686

- which made installing the ntfs module go straight through (so
now people can continue to supply me with files on ntfs-formatted
drives...)

Thanks alot!
