Unfortunately, it is still freetype and freetype-devel in redhat. 
What's the way to handle that, two different dia.spec files?  Some kind
of conditional?

Popt is optional, and I have *zero* idea what esound is there for.

I guess the gnome things are required since it compiles with
--enable-gnome.  It is now (in 0.93) reasonable to use --enable-gnome
always, before then it cost you the menu shortcuts.

Strange, it's listed in Applications_DATA, not unlike dia.keys, which
doesn't seem to have a problem.  Perhaps it shouldn't be listed under
%files?

I guess it makes sense to compile with that, too.
