> What autogenerated these specs?

cpanspec (http://cpanspec.sf.net/ or install it from Extras).

While I didn't (and probably should) mention it in the changelog, I had to do a
little minor cleanup to most of the specs it generated, but it's usually just a
matter of verifying the license and fixing the description.

Thank you.  :-)

True.  That's probably something picked up by cpanspec.  I'll change that.

ISTR that rpm picked up a Requires, but not the Provides, so I added the
Provides.  The Requires seems to get picked up in this whole stack, so I don't
think filtering it out would work.
