While I waited I started cleaning up more issues I found after I realized you could run rpmlint on the actual rpm and not just the spec file. I'd like the review to go as quickly as possible so I'm just trying to get all those warnings cleaned up.

%{_libdir}/dspam/libdspam-mysql_drv.so (libdspam-mysql)

For each backend driver.
