Appreciate the update, though regarding the license, its still not fully right.
Since setup.rb is shipped with the 'doc' subpackage, it is that package that
needs the LGPLv2 in the license. 

Furthermore it needs to be MIT _and_ LGPLv2 (not _or_) as the provided sources
are shipped under both those licenses. 'or' would be appropriate if upstream
said 'you may use this project under the terms of the MIT license or the LGPL
one, your choice'.

So essentially the license for the main package should be 'LICENSE: MIT'

and the license for the subpackage (put this under %package doc) should be
'LICENSE: MIT and LGPLv2'


Now that being said, looking at setup.rb, it looks like we don't even need to
ship it as it simply sets up the upstream environment for a build / install.

Unless I'm wrong, you can also just remove setup.rb, and just ship the entire
package (both net-sftp and the doc subpackage) under the MIT license. Your
choice.


Either way, once this license issue is resolved and git is setup, just push as
my APPROVED still stands.
