Fedora 35 vs. Survex package

[James Begley]

Hiya,

Just to follow up on this after a busy couple of days.

Survex 1.4.1 builds and runs fine for fedora 35 (and earlier versions of
fedora), and can be installed from the copr repository. Thanks to Olly for
his hard work in getting survex to support later vrsions of proj.

Cheers,
James
