well, since one of the standards is "no other-distro stuff in the spec,"
that makes courier's incompatible. My main concern is that it's
designed to build an rpm -- on any rpm-based distro. I can clean up the
stuff that would annoy rpmlint, possibly the group name (nonstandard),
but I'm not about to maintain it in such a way that I always have to
pull out Sam's non-fedora customizations.
