What extra setup have you got on your mind? These are just two lines in 
our spec file.

Benefit? There is. Last week it helped me to catch an HAML syntax 
error[*] that was only appearing on Fedora 14 (64 bits). Fedora 15 was okay.

The standard practice in Java world is to precompile all the JSP/JSPF 
and this kind of stuff during build phase. It helps to catch syntax 
errors before they reach the customer. We did not even compile (check) 
our Ruby code, not speaking about HAML pages.

The only drawback is RPM packaging is now a bit slower. Ruby syntax 
chack is fast, HAML is slower. I could work on that - shouln't be a 
problem to do this in a Ruby script in a loop or something.

If you concern is just a speed I can fix that.
