Okay, but we already have the spec file.  Why is your approach
better?  Is your script that generates the the spec easier to
maintain then the spec file itself?  Is it just as flexible?  If
so then Red Hat screwed up designing RPM.  I can see the utility
of such as script but I don't see how it helps in this situation.
