[et-mgmt-tools] %include

[drew einhorn]

When is 0.5.2 due to hit the repositories?

I've cobbled together my own .rpm packages
using the latest source from git

I think they have some minor problems
   bad %files section

but I think they are close enough for now
and I think they will automatically be updated when 0.5.2
hits the repositories.

But I'm not 100% sure I haven't made some mistakes that
are bigger than I realize, since I have not really built any
rpms for years.

I'll be happy when my funky rpms are replaced.
