I just added a script which was written by Jason L Tibbitts III (it was a
bit help, thanks Jason).  You can see it here if you wish:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/fedora-security/tools/?root=fedora

Jason's original script relied on a local archive of things, this one grabs
what it needs remotely.  It's not the fastest thing ever, but it should be
good enough for now.
