GNU Emacs with Xft Goodness in Fedora

Here are the simple steps needed to get GNU Emacs with nice fonts in Fedora:

cd ~; mkdir CVS; cd !$
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co -r emacs-unicode-2 emacs
cd emacs
./configure --with-gtk --enable-font-backend --with-xft; setarch i386 -R make bootstrap
echo "Emacs.font: DejaVu Sans Mono-8" >> ~/.Xdefaults

Dear lazyweb, I’d like an RPM like g33k provides for Debianish GNU+Linux someday.
