Hello Dag and Folks,

in a bid to enable comps.xml support for Rhel5.  I hacked up the 
following patch.  This is more generalized than the patch that Gavin 
Carr proposed.  I have tested it against Rhel3, 4, 5 and a dummy 
scenario to mimic the Centos 5 case.  For those who don't have access to 
Rhel5, the following listing will hopefully give you some clues as to 
why the patch is hacked as such.

# find /var/www/mrepo/rhel5-server-i386/disc1/ -name "comps*.xml"
/var/www/mrepo/rhel5-server-i386/disc1/Cluster/repodata/comps-rhel5-cluster.xml
/var/www/mrepo/rhel5-server-i386/disc1/ClusterStorage/repodata/comps-rhel5-cluster-st.xml
/var/www/mrepo/rhel5-server-i386/disc1/Server/repodata/comps-rhel5-server-core.xml
/var/www/mrepo/rhel5-server-i386/disc1/VT/repodata/comps-rhel5-vt.xml

The main comps.xml file is "comps-rhel5-server-core.xml" as opposed to 
just comps.xml.

In any case, let me know your thoughts.

All the best,

Gareth
