Hi John,

I was going to do a full review, however I've stumbled upon some major issues.
Please can you solve them first before I do the complete review?

- the package contains a rather old snaphost from 1/2008 - can you package a
newer snapshot e.g. from 6/2009?

- rpmlint reveals 139 warnings and errors, especially:

* formatting fo the description

* lots of example *.c files in the main package (they should be in the devel
package)

* static libraries were packaged - usually they should be completely omitted
unless there is a reason:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#StaticLibraries

* if the %post/%postun section only contains one line, it should be written
like this:
%post -p /sbin/ldconfig

- using %ghost for *.so.x should not be necessary, 
%{_libdir}/*.so.* should be sufficient

- pkgconfig must be required by the devel pacakge since *.pc is packaged

- probably the tests should be moved into the devel package, too


Best regards,
Christian
