Packaging for Fedora

[Jan-Henrik Haukeland]

This is a good suggestion and we have dropped release info from the  
library name. Can you please check out libzdb from svn, build it and  
verify that the library is named as you requested?

Checkout from http://code.google.com/p/libzdb/source/checkout

You need re2c (a scanner) to build from subversion. re2c should be  
available in a fedora package otherwise try http://re2c.org/
