Done and agreed.

I have sent the patch upstream by PM (the project lacks a bug tracker). While
the original author said he integrated the patch into his tree, he apparently
hasn't gotten around to release a new version.

> * Similarly, please give the reasoning of Source1.

See comment #9. Basically because I couldn't get toc working, and furthermore
allows autotools to cross-compile the lib (I have also submitted
mingw32-zfstream for review).

Done.

The project is named just "zfstream" on the author's homepage. It's just that
the tarball has libs11n_ prefixed. s11n.net is another project by the same
author, so I guess that's where the prefix comes from. zfstream however has
nothing to do with s11n.net, so I found it more natural to just name the
package zfstream.

Done

> ! Please make use of the %{name} macro.

Done.

> * The devel package must require "bzip2-devel", "zlib-devel or minizip-devel
> (?)", and "pkgconfig" 

Done. I think zlib-devel is enough, as zipstream.hpp does not include anything
from minizip-devel, minizip is only needed for building

> ? About "touch NEWS README AUTHORS": Wasn't there an --add-missing flag to
> automake?

Actually, -a (which is already present) or --add-missing (the full name for -a)
only adds missing files _other_ than NEWS, README and AUTHORS. So build will
fail if you remove the touch.

> ! No need for blank %doc's.

Done.

> ! Please make the descriptions span 80 columns.  

Shortened.
