I am definitely positive about this! Our current way of using RPM as the 
primary install tool has always seemed quite strange to me.

Please send me a patch against current CVS if possible so I can try if 
it works nicely. I know my way around autoconf/automake/libtool etc, 
and it seems like the obvious choice of course and I am comfortable 
with this.

Only caveat is that I can't spend too much time on this, so if it 
doesn't work right away, we might have to postpone it until after mid 
June or something.
