I did not change the specfile, but the rpm's for sme (and thus rhe4) 
are here:

As much as I can understand that I still think it would be supergreat 
if you could  just write like 5 lines in it explaining where it does 
what. Especially what variables come from where. That really makes 
the difference between something that works, and something that is 
usefull in open source communities, still after you stop maintaining 
it yourself.

For instance have a look at this script:

30c53

from this link:

It is well documented. And I think only in about 10 lines.

I will try to find a good perl hacker to tell me what your script 
does.
