Fedora Extras builds runs with make -j3 normally, and that is when it
turned up on my build box.  Hence the patch to reorder the dependencies
so common and redfsm are required for the other builds.

The patches I'm using are avaialble in the Fedora Extras source tree,
browse them here:

    http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/ragel/?root=extras

The source RPM is here:

    http://redhat.download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/SRPMS/ragel-5.19-4.fc6.src.rpm
