So it seems.  Had a shot at building FC4 evolution and it turned into
way more packages than I really wanted to replace to get an updated
evolution.  Gave up after about 6 rounds of
building/installing/building-new-deps/installing and reverted to CentOS4
and/or FC3 evolution RPMS and dependencies, as documented elsewhere in
the thread.

Well, a more stable (IMHO and experience) FC3-rebuilt set of evolution
RPMS might be an intermediate answer until a better solution comes from
upstream.  Still think it might be a candidate for centosplus.

P.S.
FC3 evolution rebuild is working well for me on x86_64 as well as i386
arch.
