It's already there.  If you put the above code into the cvs
yummain.py, it will work right now.  clientStuff needs urlgrabber
directly, so it imports it.

That is also a very tidy solution.  If you prefer that, I think it's
completely reasonable.  I may actually prefer it myself.  conf is a
global conf object and that seems like a sensible place to stash the
version.
