Some notes about this package:
#1: this is a Hardware Development CAD. The headers included in the main 
package are not an error or a mistake, but useful for some %_bindir/*. In 
other words, it is important for the working(normal) environment of the user.
(note: don't get confuse with headers of a normal application and the hardware 
CAD)

#2: The design tools at %_bindir/* are used in a collectively way following 
the design flow.
http://www-asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance//doc/design-flow/flow.html
If one of the %_bindir/* is buggy it may affect the entire design flow.

#3: I wrote a simple tutorial for trial:
http://chitlesh.googlepages.com/full_adder_alliance

#4: Alliance depends heavily on %{prefix} (careful not %{_prefix}). Most of 
the sources have hardcoded paths to %{prefix}. Patching the dozens of 
Makefiles isn't enough.

#5: Makefiles on the -doc
Makefiles are present in alliance-examples/*. It is normal because
 * it gives the VLSI designer a template on how to create his own
   Makefile for alliance (VLSI designers normally don't know how to do so)
 * it is not part of the build, but part of the _working_ environment of the 
user

#6: on the build.log there are lines about :
libtool: install: warning: 
`/builddir/build/BUILD/alliance-5.0/mbk/src/libMut.la' has not been installed 
in `/usr/lib'
I have no idea what to do with it. Any suggestion is welcome.

I tried to comment as much as I can on the SPEC file.
