Hmmm, yes.  So, you recommend running "autogen.sh" after untarring the 
distribution?  Okay, can do.

But, it just seems like a long way to walk to replace @-VERSION-@ with 
the corect version, and removing ".in" from the spec file name.

I wonder, would it be possible (desirable?) to do this when building the 
distibution tarball?  IE: could "make dist" build the gnucash.spec file?
