RHEL support thru CentOS + rsyslog

suse build service made support binaries build on actual RHEL machines extremely easy, simply add RHEL repo and subsequently 214 sipx rpms can now be had...and tested...and stored, and ... so on!

I want to take a different approach for RHEL support. CentOS promises to provide a binary compatible alternative to RHEL. In addition, CentOS also comes w/some extra rpms RHEL does not such as rsyslog which is now required by sipXpbx rpm. So let's only build rsyslog on RHEL and add that to a the CentOS repo and allow it to get ignored by CentOS machines. I plan to create a symlink on the server point RHEL to CentOS in case I have there is an incompatibility and i need to have separate repos.

This is my plan anyway.
