Good
----
* Clean output from rpmlint
* Package and spec file named correctly
* md5sum matches upstream sources
* Seems to follow PackagingGuidelines
* Acceptible GPL license
* Legible spec file
* No duplicate files
* File permissions look ok

Check
-----
* Builds in mock for i386 and x86_64
One build warning on both platforms.  You might want to check the 
upstream author to see if this is a problem:
base64.c: In function 'isbase64':
base64.c:284: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of 
data type

Bad
---
Use %find_lang to handle the de locale instead of 
%{_prefix}/share/locale/...

I didn't try running the program.
