Rebuilding the package from srpm is a possibility indeed, but
- I am not a skilled rpm-builder. As a matter of fact I never did this before. However one could give it a try.
- Obtaining the srpm is not going to be easy.
Thanks for your answer anyway.

Wherever you found the binary rpm should also have the src rpm available. There's a 1.0.0.1 for fc4 here:
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=nvu
You'd have a fair chance if you download that and run
rpmbuild --rebuild nvu-1.0-0.1.src.rpm
then look under /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/ for the binary it builds.
