I got GM from http://yum.nrpms.net/ 

(web site is at www.nrpms.net)

The repo maintainer has been contacted by a friend in the past and he was
responding quite nice - my friend will send e-mail about the howl issue.

My system is fully uptodate Fedora Core 3 which unfortunately still
has howl-0.9.6-6 ....
