Ah-ha, I thought so, rpm -qi on my box said it's a SUSE-built package
(it's from supplementary/GNOME).

One thing that crossed my mind, because of the possible stability
issues, was to do the same as I do with the GIMP development packages,
and AbiWord ones (when there's a development tree open) and call it
gaim-beta

The issue may be moot though, as out of the box it doesn't build.
Looking into it, but oh boy were there a lot of syntax errors! :)

A good plan all around really.
