Thank you for sponsoring me. I am testing the fedora development tools
and reading the development wiki, and hope to upload a new package in
a day or two. There seems to be a lot to learn.

Well, you could craft proper if-conditions for all supported releases of
%fedora and cover old systems via %else.
Alternatively, you can leave %fedora undefined whenever it is and
in that case check whether it's undefined:
%if 0%{?fedora}
# a non-Fedora system
%endif
Here, %{?fedora} only expands to something if defined, and because of the
prefix 0 the value becomes 0 (=false) if %fedora is undefined.
Thanks for the tip, that makes a lot of sense. I provide you with a
revised, unified monster. It is hardcoded to handle all known fedora
versions correctly, and in case of a non-fedora system, it falls back
to checking the layout of the filesystem and performing an educated
guess as to the correct dependencies.
I indented it using a single tab per block level, since it was
unreadable without indentation and the packaging guidelines do not
mention any indentation style recomendation. If there is an informal
common indentation style, please let me know.
# Locate correct build-dependencies for providing X headers
%if "%fedora" >= "5"
#Modern Fedora version, has modular X.org
BuildRequires: xorg-x11-proto-devel libX11-devel libXt-devel
%else
%if "%fedora" >= "3"
#Semi-old Fedora version, has non-modular X.org
BuildRequires: xorg-x11-devel
%else
%if 0%{?fedora}
#This is not a Fedora system, try guessing BuildRequires
by looking at the directory structure
%define xinclude %( if test -d /usr/X11R6/include; then
echo /usr/X11R6/include; else echo /usr/include; fi )
BuildRequires: %{xinclude}/X11/StringDefs.h,
%{xinclude}/X11/Xlib.h
BuildRequires: %{xinclude}/X11/Intrinsic.h,
%{xinclude}/X11/Xatom.h
%else
#Ancient Fedora version, has XFree86
BuildRequires: XFree86-devel
%endif
%endif
%endif
Does this look ok?
