Decided on?  Default?  I missed something, are you just talking about
appending the major version number to the name of the package?  (gconf2,
gnome-core2, and so on)

I could have sworn that I read you started from the rawhide/gnomehide
spec files, but maybe that was another message.  Anyway, if you did so,
I hope you cleaned them up, at least making the headers readable, as in
the pkg-config spec file posted to the list.  The ones that Havoc,
Jonathan, Jeremy and crew have written are PUG UGLY (and I've told them
this, but they don't really care).  :-)
