[AG-DEV] AG 3.2 RPM pre-beta SVN snapshots for Fedora and RHEL

[Douglas Kosovic]

As 'agpm --post-install' in the RPM postinstall step is creating the 
~/.AccessGrid3/ dir and sub dirs when sudo is used, I might put in a
'su -c "agpm --post-install"' as a workaround which will cause it to 
create ~root/.AccessGrid3 instead.

I'll modify the RPM once I'm back at work later in the week.
