We'll have to ignore rpmlint's error about no binary files in usr/lib then.
Besides being more practical, I figured error > warning so it was better to put
it into the main package ;)

Here it is with a split -devel:
SPEC: http://downloads.diffingo.com/rpmfusion/wxsvg-freeworld.spec
SRPM:
http://downloads.diffingo.com/rpmfusion/wxsvg-freeworld-1.0-2.fc10.src.rpm

Yup, AFAIK there's no other way. It's not great, but it's better than
conflicting with the Fedora installation of wxsvg (in which case nothing would
work at all). We have the same situation for the nvidia libs vs mesa libs for
example.

Other than the addition of some (ffmpeg-related) functions, everything should
be identical. I've tested using svgview from the Fedora package while the
overrides are active and everything still functions as expected.
