And have Mandrake ship postgresql-v7.1-GiST-1mdk.rpm by default ;)

I would  even vote for including the ability to index int(4) arrays in
the 
main distribution and not in contrib, similar to the current state of
plpgsq 
and other pl* - ie they are compiled by default but not "activated".

Assumption that arrays are indexable seems to come up once or twice a 
month on the mailing lists.
