this is a side-effect at people yelling at ATrpms for replacing
packages from the system: I'm using newer autotools than what RHEL3
ships comparable to what RHEL5 ships. With autotools its always a good
idea to use the latest even for older platforms.

Still people didn't like these packages being superseeded and
therefore they are currently not published. I can place them somewhere
for you do download, perhaps under people.atrpms.net? I don't want to
make them globally visible again, because people will start moaning
about too many packages being replaced.
