This works. I just now tried it.
I had already made the rpm by deleting this 'automagic' scenario
and explicitly writing out the %files list.

But this is indeed easier and 'automatically' applicable (I think)
in other cases.

(I'll have to start studying sed and regular expressions to understand
 what is actually being done there).

Thank you for the help.
