=== Issues ===
1. I am not sure about the necessity of the last patch (the one affecting conf-cc). Anyway, please drop the "-O2" flag, RPM_OPTS contains all that is needed.
2. It would be nice if you would be preserve the timestamps of the documentation files that you modify (BUGS, README). A simple call to touch -r is all that is needed


================
*** APPROVED *** but please adjust your patch to take into consideration the above mentioned first issue.

modifying conf-cc was no longer needed so I removed it from the patch

i've used touch -r for README and passing -k flag to BUGS line.
