One, RPM *does* do this by default now.

Two, RPM is a package manager, not a build system.  You'll note I said "build
system."

Not if you're using a sane build system, like Mezzanine, which handles all that
for you like a good build system should.

For what it's worth, there's now a LICENSE file in LibAST.
