Wow! You beat me to it!  I have been playing around with source
reorganization, but you are way more on the ball.

The only bit that I would have left in is lua support, and this is only
because it allows working around one annoying bug.  In openSUSE 10.2,
lua is used to remove the /usr/lib/X11 and /usr/include/X11 symlinks, so
that the fun "rpm can't replace a symlink with a directory" bug does not
hit.  Obviously a better solution would be to fix the bug, but is fixed
it for now.

Thanks.
