Unbundling Bullet

I can also email it to whomever.

fudje, I understand that upstream wants bullet to be bundled, but the Fedora Packaging Guidelines forbit it except in exceptional cases, primarily for security reasons. It's easier to patch a library once than it is to try to figure out which 50 packages may or may not be affected because we think they might be bundling a given library, and they're all using different versions. We do grant exceptions in some cases, for example, where there are significant modifications to the bundled library that the library's upstream won't adopt, or if the application will only work with an old version and can't be ported to the new version.
