Hmmm, there is one for fc4 at Planet CCRMA, just add a url with "extras"
at the end instead of "core", "updates", etc, etc. 

__BUT__: it is a snapshot for fc4 I have not updated in a long long time
so it is _not_ current. Before I update I have to test to see if
anything there breaks Planet CCRMA packages (at least in obvious ways).
