Thanks Gunnar. Unfortunately, I cannot use many of your building features. I 
need to use what's on the Mandriva BS an also adhere to the policies.
Many of the macros are different from those in your spec files.
But anyhow, I got horde-H4 to build and it looks decent.
If you would have a list from your files it would help (rpm -ql horde-
H4.......rpm)
