Local Packages
Updated libxml2 to 2.7.7 (fix serious trouble with zlib >= 1.2.4, add option --xpath to xmllint, various HTML parser improvements, a number of bug fixes)
Updated perl-DateTime to 0.54; this was quite a big change as, in addition to updating the UTF8 patch, I needed to add a large new patch to support builds with Test::More prior to 0.88 (I merged the patch for building with Scalar::Util prior to 1.10 into this patch too), and I split DateTime::Locale and DateTime::TimeZone into their own subpackages but enforced strict dependencies to make sure that all packages are pulled in together as if the bundling was still there - this makes it easier for users to find the DateTime::Locale and DateTime::TimeZone packages without breaking things (I've seen searches for these packages in the server logs)
Updated ppp to merge Fedora usepeerdns-var_run_ppp_resolv patch into change_resolv_conf patch; I still keep a local version of this patch for old distributions for which we don't apply the change_resolv_conf patch
Updated unrar to 3.9.10
