Ok, latest quilt packages at http://jdub.homelinux.org/files/

I've trimmed some of the Requires, removed the Authors part from the %
description, and fixed a warning that was printed when viewing the man
page.

The package still owns the /etc/bash_completion.d directory because I'm
still not sure how to handle that.  It seems to want fixing so that when
quilt is removed that directory doesn't get removed as well since there
might be other things in there.

I still don't see what the problem is with having it
own /etc/bash_completion.d/quilt instead of the whole directory.
Someone care to enlighten me again?
