I understand why you need to generate the checksums after rpm is done poling at
the binaries; I was just confused by the language in use:

  This overrides the default which was in place at least from Red Hat Linux 9 
  through Fedora 11's development cycle.

which (to me, at least) sort of sounds like it's overriding some sort of
default checksum generation.  Not that's it's in any way material, but perhaps
it will explain my confusion.

Anyway, I guess it's not reasonable to run the test suite unless you somehow
compile a specal version that doesn't check its checksums.  I guess it would be
nice if the executables had some way to skip the verification, but absent that
the test suite isn't useful.

Finally, the issue of where to put the checksums.  Given the problems with the
alternatives, %{_libdir} seems fine, rpmlint's complaint about it
nonwithstanding.

I guess that covers everything.  APPROVED
