Well, at the time I think the only reason wireshark.spec was generated 
was so that we (and by "we" I really mean "Gerald") wouldn't have to 
change the version in wireshark.spec every time the our version changed.

Obviously I've been changing that over time so the .spec file is much 
more generated...

And, yeah, I'm starting to head in the direction of making the RPM 
follow ./configure's options: see r53607.

(If I hadn't been traveling and working so much recently I might have 
touched this stuff in the past month...)
