[mythtv] [OT] Can't build with XvMC support using ATrpms nvidia-graphics rpm

I apologize if this is off-topic, but I thought it was relevant...

I'm in the midst of doing a bare-metal rebuild of my old Myth box, and 
decided to use FC1 and Jarod's guide (nice work, Jarod).  I found both 
Jarod's guide & ATrpms very helpful, and was able to get 0.14 to a 
runnable state pretty quickly.

However, I usually track CVS, so I checked out the latest and started 
building (after uninstalling the 0.14 rpms, of course).  After 
resolving a couple of dependencies (needed to apt-get lirc-libs-devel & 
lame-devel), my compilation started chugging away... until it got 
linking in libXvMCNVIDIA.  The nvidia-graphics4363 rpm installs 
libXvMCNVIDIA as /usr/X11R6/lib/nvidia-graphics-1.0-4363/
libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.4363.  It does add the directory to /etc/
ld.so.conf, so it's available at runtime, but I had to manually add a 
"-L" for that directory to settings.pro to get things to build.

I'm not sure if this is more of packaging issue or a settings.pro 
issue... my gut says packaging.  Axel, would it be possible to have the 
nvidia-graphics RPM do a post-install step of creating a symlink in /
usr/X11R6/lib, or something like that?
