Yeah, I understand that and completely agree in the general case.

However, in this case the old build was *broken*. We really *should* be
using the proper libmspack. In this case I *want* to make people jump
through extra hoops if they want to continue to build this the broken
way, after I've gone to the trouble of fixing it :)

It's not as if adding --with-internal-lzx is *much* extra work, if
that's really what they decide to do.

If it makes you feel better about the packaging work, I can go and file
a Fedora bug for the violation of the packaging guidelines; shipping a
hacked-up copy of parts of libmspack instead of using the real one? :)

When you package 3.8.3 for Fedora 19, you will *definitely* need to add
libmspack-devel as a BuildRequires, as part of the fix for that. If I
commit things as-is, that's *all* you'll have to do.

If I change things around as you suggest, you'll actually have to do
*more* work because you'll have to add the --without-internal-lzx option
to the configure line too :)
