My wife appreciates the sentiment :-).  As it stands now, better
documentation distributed in the source RPM would help greatly. 
Everything necessary to do the build and maintain the package is in the
source RPM as it stands now -- evidenced by the Linux distributors being
able to take our source RPM, massage it to fit their particular system,
and run with it.  And I have a scad of history available in specfile
form....

Not counting the JDBC jars, it's a hundred K or so uncompressed.  The
spec file is around 30k -- a small amount of code.  

contrib/rpm-dist?
