RPM Fusion Project

• Updated xv to drop the dependency on man for RHEL-5 onwards; it was there for ownership of the /usr/share/man/{fi,pl} directories, which are owned by the filesystem package since RHEL-5 (the man package was dropped from Rawhide recently and it became a broken dependency for xv)
