The SPEC is in CVS (in the 2.2 branch).  I deliberately pulled the SPECs
out of the tarballs some time ago; because of the nature of the build
process (chicken-and-egg problem), if it goes in the tarball, it's always
out of date.  CVS (and Chora) availability should suffice.

People are certainly welcome to do this, and I'd be happy to take patches
etc.  :-)  But again, they should realize this will be a lot of work to
keep current.
