[TriLUG] Filtering RPM versions

Given a directory full of RPMs, some of which are the same package, just
different versions (eg:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/i386/ ),
is there some method of deleting all but the most current version of the
RPMs contained therein?

The reason for this is to put together a CD (perhaps DVD depending on size)
of just the most current updates to send to someone who is still stuck out
in dialup land.
