Nonetheless, you're still better off getting it through your distro 
(which is....?) so that you avoid conflicts. Every once in a while there 
is something important like this, but I would advocate patience, rather 
than resorting to compiling and other such out-of-package approaches. 
How badly do you need the latest/greatest 1.3.5svn?

Fedora seemed to have had a delay in getting 4.4.x, but they changed 
something about update repositories, and now have 4.4.2
