Attached spec file fixes a number of rpmlint issues. All that's left are 
  complaints about header files not being in a -devel package. I don't 
think a -devel package is appropriate for this since development is the 
whole point of the main package, and the compiler (much like gcc, which 
also includes header files in the main package) is useless without them.

Resulting package builds OK in mock for rawhide on i386, but I've no 
idea if it actually works.

The files under /usr/lib/... are moved to /usr/share/... as suggested by 
Michael.
