rpmbuild post install checks

[Steve Grubb]

Hi,

I have tarred up my post install build checks that found the /bin /sbin linked 
to /usr problems. It can be downloaded from:

http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/rpmbuild-checks.tar.gz

The tarball has installation instructions in the README file. If any test 
fails, it stops the build and rpms are not written. I have about 10 checks 
and would like to add more. I would also like to take any contributions that 
can look for problems at build time. The intent is to find problems in local 
builds before pushing it out to Koji for an official build.

Comments?

-Steve
