* The "description-line-too-long" ought to be corrected. Keep
the lines under 80 columns. That avoids ugly staircase effects
if no assumption about maximum length of lines or auto-wrapping
(block-text) is made.

* pkg-config file in meanwhile-devel has dependencies, a test like

    $ pkg-config --exists meanwhile && echo "yes"

  fails.

* Header files also include glib headers.

* minimum glib2-devel version is sufficient since at least FC1

* explicit dependency on glib2 is not needed

* %post/%postun scriptlets miss dependency on /sbin/ldconfig,
   change them to -p /sbin/ldconfig (as in patch below) to get
   an automatic dependency

-The heart of the Meanwhile Project is the Meanwhile library, providing the basic
-Lotus Sametime session functionality along with the core services; Presence
-Awareness, Instant Messaging, Multi-user Conferencing, Preferences Storage,
-Identity Resolution, and File Transfer. This extensible client interface allows
-additional services to be added to a session at runtime, allowing for simple
-integration of future service handlers such as the user directory and whiteboard
-and screen-sharing.
