Walter, the solution is very simple - build the Fedora RPM on Fedora. Simple as
that. We can ask Alex to give us access to his Fedora box (I think it is a
virtual machine) and build the RPM there.

The best option, and I personally like this one the most, is to submit DMD to
Fedora, and make it in the official Fedora repository. I can volunteer to do
this, although it will take some time because I do not have any Fedora RPMs
submitted so Fedora people may be skeptical about my RPM skills at first...

Another option is to change the SPEC file and make it explicitly depend on the
gnutls RPM (there is gnutls RPM in Fedora!). This will indirectly force user to
install curl that is linked against gnutls. curl RPM package from Fedora
repository can be re-built with gnutls as default TLS library.
