Newer distros, or say better, FC5 gets its XvMCW from the vendor
itself :)

The package at ATrpms is a dummy package for

o ensuring proper upgrades (e.g. effectively removing external XvMCW
  from say FC4, since it's in XOrg now, and
o until I get all XvMCW references out of other packages.
  (for mythtv on fc5 you can kill the BuildRequires, but it's needed
  for all other distros)

(at least I think that were the reason, I missed placing a %changelog
entry to the FC5 package, and it's already some months ago, so I can
only guess)

I'm not sure whether I will be able to really get rid of this dummy
package as it is needed for keeping specfiles for FC5 and pre-FC5/RHEL
the same. In that case it would have to be better documented in
Summary and %description.
