I've included the script, necessary patch file and a README.fedora to describe
these as documentation. I've uploaded these also here:

http://tiptoe.de/dav/README.fedora
http://tiptoe.de/dav/rss-glx-rm-matrixview.sh
http://tiptoe.de/dav/rss-glx-0.8.1-0.8.1.p.diff

The new, script-generated tarball is also at:

http://tiptoe.de/dav/rss-glx_0.8.1.p.tar.bz2

The format in which these default images are kept is quite obscure... I might
try it at a later point (or hey, I'll accept patches ;-) but for starters we can
do without that hack I think.

I'va added version info for the latest and next-to-latest entry, I'm not sure
about the older ones so I'll leave them blank.

I don't obsolete it anymore as it was only for an old version I never really
distributed.

Removed.

Thanks.
