rpmlint says
W: tre summary-not-capitalized lightweight POSIX-compliant regexp
library
Is this an important style point here?

E: tre non-versioned-file-in-library-package /usr/share/man

various complaints about this for various files, which will make it
impossible to have multiple versions installed at once, but this doesn't
seem to truly matter.

E: tre standard-dir-owned-by-package /usr/share/man
E: tre standard-dir-owned-by-package /usr/share/man/man1

This on the other hand should be fixed. %{_datadir}/* is causing it, and
you don't want to do this. For one thing, both tre and tre-agrep
own /usr/share/man/man1/agrep.1.gz

W: tre one-line-command-in-%post /sbin/ldconfig
W: tre one-line-command-in-%postun /sbin/ldconfig

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ScriptletSnippets suggests but doesn't
require doing this as %post -p /sbin/ldconfig and so.
