But where do I find fsf-compat?

Google found me 
	http://dev.linuxppc.org/RPMS/users-gdt/noarch/xemacs_package-fsf-compat-1.05-1a.noarch.html
which would work for me with SuSE 6.2, but none of the ftp URLs to the 
actual RPMs are working.

I did not find anything about fsf-compat on http://www.xemacs.org/

I did find something on rpmfind.net...
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/powertools/6.1/sparc/usr_lib_xemacs_xemacs-packages_lisp_fsf-compat_Tree.html
but quite _what_ this was, I'm not sure.
