I have created RPMS for pstoedit. Just what you always wanted! Finally, you can convert ps or pdf graphics to powerpoint to give to your pointy headed boss!
pstoedit needs libEMF and plotutils. I have made RPMS for all 3.
Now, what exactly do I need to do to submit? Where to upload?
I hope I did not rain on your parade, but I have submitted pstoedit in the Fedora QA bugzilla. This is a great app, which can work as a plug-in to gsview 4.x. See: https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1440
libEMF is busted building on Fedora-1 (properly) , even with gcc patches poached from other distros. Needs some massaging and it is an abandoned project AFAICT. I would be curious to see if it can be made to work properly on FC-1 and FC-2..
I have not finished the plotutils package yet, so submitting this to QA would be welcome.

You packaged pstoedit without libEMF? Without libEMF, you can't write WMF, and that was the whole point (for me, at least).

libEMF needed only minor patches. I have fed them back to libEMF author, who approved of them.
I will try to submit, but if you're in a hurry I can post spec files and patches to all 3 packages here.
