No problem. We have time. I also forgot that I have an open review. :)

OK, repackaged as source and also sent an email to upstream mailinglist, which
is asking to release this as stable (or at least official snapshot).

New package can be found here:
  http://www.salstar.sk/pub/fedora/SPECS/libirman.spec
 
http://www.salstar.sk/pub/fedora/SRPMS/10/libirman-0.4.4-5.20090314cvs.fc10.src.rpm

It was also possible to strip patch by removing "configure" part, which is
autoregenerated later from spec file.
