I hadn't read the original, so didn't see what you cut out:

   The only thing special about this is that it`s a cvs build with the
latest
   fixes and features. And it is easy for everyone to install.
   If you want to build it yourself or are curious about this project
   go check it out @ (http://www.videolan.org)

They *TELL* you they've done nothing special, just doing nightly
builds that installs nicely (the Mac/Next way, not the Unix way)
on OS X. They give credit to videolan.  I really don't understand
the problem.  (rpmfind.net has a service where they track rpm's
you can install on different Linuxes - what's the difference?
They're just packaging. But I use rpmfind.net all the time)
