With the four packages I did so far, I ended up with %if %opt 
conditionals in the %files section.  For example:

  http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240571
  http://annexia.org/tmp/ocaml-calendar.spec

has:

  %files devel
  %defattr(-,root,root,-)
  %doc CHANGES README TODO
  %{_libdir}/ocaml/calendar/META
  %if %opt
  %{_libdir}/ocaml/calendar/*.a
  %{_libdir}/ocaml/calendar/*.cmxa
  %endif
  %{_libdir}/ocaml/calendar/*.mli

Is that not right?

Rich.
