I have a CentOS4 system (server parts only) and see that it's even
more dumb than I thought; a new patch is on the way, I made the
initial macro definitions as lowly basic as possible, which makes it a
lot more portable. Basically RHEL4 doesn't know an empty macro
definition is '0', unlike newer systems.

OK tests on my FC6 box and a CentOS4 box, all working for the basics.
Patch #1676900 against CVS.

Coolness - I was a bit on the "well what do I do?" front as well about
that whole point, whatever is cleaner and works out. I thought having
to install 'barry' to get 'libbarry' was lame myself... :)

BTW: the second paragraph of %description -n libbarry now goes over
the 80char boundry, you should hard wrap it after "You most" and yank
up the following line. Makes the display of rpm -qi(p) pretty.
