Has anyone tried porting a newer version?   I wanted to use the version
of rpm that comes with busybox to simplify things, but that version
needs mmap() so that you can handle files bigger than RAM efficiently,
and trying to write a work-around was just too frustrating - it goes
back to needing a virtual address space to support a real mmap() to do
it efficiently.
