So - I've successfully blended the two spec files.  You spec file
broke things out into separate packages, mine delivers some additional
files (javadoc, an additional command-line tool, etc.)  If you have any
personal interest in the results, let me know.

What I _still_ don't get, though, is why my spec file does work
under RHEL4 or CentOS 5.

Nor do I know how to debug this.  Someone earlier mentioned they
could use my original spec to create an RPM that had the requirements
properly handled, but I have no idea what environment that was done
in.

Does anyone have any advice on how to chase this?  Or do I have to
start pawing through reams of anaconda code to chase this down?
