Pete,

You seem to have knowledge of the RPM SPEC-file format. Could you
tell me where it is documented ? I've looked but found nothing,
so I probably looked in all the wrong places.

I manipulated the spec file after the 0.92.95 release to build the
RPMs. Yeah I know this is definitely the wrong order of actions.

However the lesstif spec file is modified for not building Xbae, Xlt,
and there are brand new spec files for Xbae and Xlt.

Note also that we don't have a specfile in CVS, but a lesstif.spec.in,
to allow configure to substitute version numbers and such trivia.

So next time please edit lesstif.spec.in and send diffs for that one.

Not problematic, but not something I'm inclined to do. Nobody
in their right mind uses static libraries, and I don't want to
encourage people to download a useless amount of junk.

So I edited it out a while ago.

You also provided a line to say we "provide" motif. Thanks for that.
Again, if you have documentation, tips, ... about RPM and SPEC,
please send them or pointers to them along.
