Well, as the RPM documentation says, there is no reliable method to decide
which files got installed while doing a make install. So, you have to manually
check the output of make -n install and then create the filelist for yourself.
I have another program called autospec which attempts to parse the output of
make -n install and then generates a spec file (but of course it is too much
to expect this one to parse the rich command language bash offers and
Makefiles liberally use, but it is a good starting point).
And, the mutt 1.1.2 RPM is at ftp://ftp.retortsoft.com/pub/binand
