MUST items that pass:
- rpmlint runs fine on output without errors or warnings
- package name according to guidelines
- spec file name OK
- meets PackagingGuidelines
- license open-source
- License field matches license
- license text in upstream and included
- spec file in American English
- spec file legible
- source matches upstream
- package builds on FC4-i386
- no BuildRequires
- no locales
- no shared libraries
- not relocatable
- no duplicate files
- file permissions OK
- %clean section OK
- contains code
- no large documentation
- docs don't affect the running application
- no -devel required
- not a GUI application

SHOULD items that pass:
- license included in upstream
- package builds in mock for FC4-i386
- arch-independent, so it probably builds on all arches
- package installs and the jacal binary runs
- no subpackages

Suggestions and problems:
- the package should own %{_datadir}/jacal
- Summary field should better use words beginning with lowercase letters
- Source field should better use %{version}
- Use $RPM_BUILD_ROOT instead of ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}
- Use "install -d" instead of "mkdir -p"
- Use "cp -p" for copying files
- Create 'guile.scm', 'go.scm', and the jacal binary using SourceN
- ratint.tex (in docs) is probably unnecessary, as it is a source of ratint.pdf,
which is also included. we shouldn't need to pack sources in RPMs

Questions:
During rpmbuild, I get an error in the %install process:

   Makefile:33: srcdir.mk: No such file or directory

What is this?
