#296 included spec file in release is not expanded

[R P Herrold]

The current top level .spec file, used xxx@ values, and also a non-funcitonal %setup stanza

This patch file, run at 'make release' time will fix that issue

Patches should go to the patches tracker, not the bug tracker. That said, this patch could not be accepted regardless because you've marked the file as GPLv3+, which is incompatible with out project licensing (LGPLv2 or BSD).

There is an issue in the generated misc/brlcad.spec file, but our migration to a new build system requires that entire approach to be revisited. Regardless, thanks for noticing and reporting the issue.
