First, thanks for being patient with me while I learn some of the proper ways 
of creating a package like this under the Fedora build system.  It's 
definitely a learning process.

What does "EVR" stand for?  I haven't found the page on fedoraproject.org that 
describes this.

Thanks for the idea on how to find the grass libraries; I'll be removing the 
rpm call shortly.

Thanks for clearing this up.  I'll try to get with upstream and see what their 
idea on this is.

If they do think that they need to provide a sover; is it acceptable for me to 
create a patch to push this into this release without waiting for a release 
from upstream if we both agree on what the sover should be?

Right; I removed python-devel from the BuildRequires since the python bindings 
couldn't be created anyway because there wasn't a PyQT4 package yet.

I'll try to get mock setup here to save you the hassle of dealing with all 
these problems and get back to you when I've ironed out some more of these 
problems.
