All done,  thanks for the tips. new SRPM can be found at
http://www.ausil.us/packages/konversation-0.18-2.fc4.src.rpm

quick question on the automake and autoconf build requires is it really
needed?  i built the package by hand  but also in mock  and had sucessful
builds in both.  mock installs the build group  which by the sucessful
build without the build requires  would say that the build system comes
with automake and autoconf and is therefore an implied dependancy.  but im
happy to have them in.
