Well, the problem with that is that RPM is simply stupid. It does not
allow 0.2.0-cvs. I first tried to auto-generate ratpoison.spec at
configure time, replacing the version number in the .spec, however,
rpm barfed at me when it saw 0.2.0-cvs, so I gave up. If anyone
happens to know RPM's internals better, and has a solution, feel free
to flame me to death :)
