Well, can I have a look on the SRPM intended for Redhat (a URL or
attachment for me, i.e. not list) , then I could maybe add changes to
reflect the extra SuSE stuff surrounded by if (SuSE) ... endif or however
this is done in SPEC files, but I really suggest that the SRPM reflect the
conceptually different packages that the source contain;

1) a kernel module
2) a library (ptal) (currently depending on (1) )
3) basic commandline tools for the library. (depending on (2) )
Eventually: 4) advanced tools/frontends (xojpanel, etc. ) (depending on
               (2) )

Which during build-time will result in 3/4 RPMs
