Thanks for that. I setup the previous spec file. I was aware that we
needed to at some stage add buildrequires to it but I haven't seen the
--with trick before. Is that a standard rpm switch (ie will it possibly
go away for whatever reason)? It does seem quite useful to us for adding
optional support for postgres.

Thats ok, we'll keep what's currently on the ftp site. I'll update the
spec file in cvs so your additions go in the next release.
