Yeah, I do too, except that I've learned about the magic of a decent
text manipulation language.  Emacs is my friend.  I'll try to steal the
code from the Makefile-mode and put in into the rpm-spec-file-mode to
line up all of the line breaks.  Of course, if you're not using a nice
Lisp programming environment, I can't do much for you.  Maybe some VI
guru can do something similar though.
