Hmm, well, ok. You're right.

Yes, you're right. It has always been possible.
That works fine if you want all RPMS of multiple project to be thrown 
in one heap and have to spent time figuring out which rpms were built by 
which project.
I've always preferred forcing the rpmbuilding to be done in a subdirectory 
of the current source checkout. That way I can easily remove all old stuff 
of _this_ project (simply remove the entire subdirectory) and easily know 
what has been created by this project.

What makes this complicated? 
It's only different from what you're used to.

Ok.

Ok, discard this patch. I'll submit new (splitout) patches.
