ok, not that this is a fix, but an ugly hack work-around, 
in the RPM BUILD dir, all the Makefiles have the GNOME_DB_oafdir as
/usr/share/oaf, and I think they should read, ${prefix}/share/oaf
when I replace them all (I know all of them don't need doing, but
automatic tools are so much easier;-) it builds fine.
so, that might be the problem, it's not the specfile, but it stops the
rpmbuiild cos of the false rootdir (i.e. /var/tmp/$ROOT)
thing is, I have no idea where this is spawned from, I would imagine
inside the config system somewhere, but I don;t want to go tweaking
without being sure, also , I'm not sure what kind of effect this would
have on non rpm builds, any ..help?
