Why? The package from personalcopy.com is independent of timidity. It's a
different project. And there's a dependency in place already. At least
in F8:

  $ rpm -qR timidity++|grep Per
  PersonalCopy-Lite-soundfont  

To tell users that they need to learn application names like "timidity" is
strange. Fortunately, "yum install \*midi\*" would work here. ;)
