What changed in between?
- man page removed from doc section

- rpmbuild gzips the man page itself - thanks I wasn't aware of this feature.

- updated the rear.spec file - made it better readable

- the non-fedora directories under /usr/share/rear/build are related to the
internals of rear itself as it is disaster recovery framework that supports
Fedora, RHEL, SUSE, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Gentoo, and so on. Please notice that
there are also directories containing scripts to integrate with other
(commercial) backups solutions such as TSM, Data Protector or NetBackup. 
We prefer to keep that at least intact with other distributions. Otherwise, we
may come into conflicting situations that a fedora rpm doesn't work on RHEL for
example. If you need more information on how rear works internally I would
recommend to check out the concept guide (part of the doc section).

- we have tested rear on 64-bit platforms (AMD, IA64) and the lib64 stuff you
find under the skel directory are necessary (empty) directories where rear (in
rescue mode) will copy files into (in the build area created for that purpose).
All other necessary items (files, libraries) will be copied automatically by
the rear mkrescue process. We have tested on fedora10 too.

best regards - Gratien
