 From what I gather from the DistTag guidelines 
(http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/DistTag), %{dist} can be completely 
removed from the spec file and the build system will magically make sure 
that the resulting binary rpm is named appropriately.  If that's the 
case, then I'll leave it out unless there is a real reason that it needs 
to be there.
