Re: ORBit.spec patch

Yipes.

That patch was not well thought out.  I apologize.

As I was looking at it further, I note that %prefix isn't used in 
the ORBit spec file.  Yet it still works?

I wish someone would come out with a standardized spec file concept for
the Gnome project, there's really quite a bit of varience among the packages
and it makes it difficult to work up any automated build procedures.

I notice now, that esound is using a spec.in file so I imagine running autoconf
is required before using the spec file.  I think this is fantastic, but it
means yet another way of doing things.

This was snatched from the ee.spec file.  Someone else (Raster?) whipped that
up so you'll have to ask around for the rational.  I'm just a cut-n-paste fool.
