Ok, but where did the version of redland-bindings come from?  Shouldn't
I just link in the X11:common:Factory versions of redland AND
redland-bindings into Tumbleweed, instead of using the version of
redland from KDE-4.8?

I'd prefer to figure out the root location of packages to link to in
Tumbleweed instead of taking submit requests, the workflow works better
that way.
