Sorry; what would the "proper way" be?  The cmake script tries to lookup the 
grass library in the wrong locations and I need to tell it that the library 
lives under a directory like /usr/lib/grass-6.2.1.

Upstream does not provide a sover with their library but their program links 
against it:
$ ldd /usr/bin/qgis | grep libqgis_core.so
        libqgis_core.so => /usr/lib/libqgis_core.so (0x03099000)
$ ldd /usr/lib/qgis/libgrass*.so | grep libqgisgrass.so
        libqgisgrass.so => /usr/lib/libqgisgrass.so (0x00673000)
        libqgisgrass.so => /usr/lib/libqgisgrass.so (0x002fc000)

Should I still move these files into the -devel package and then have the main 
packages end up with a Requires on the -devel package, or do I need to work 
with upstream to add a sover to these libraries?
