The updated and maintained spec file is already included in the
tarballs. Sawfish 1.8.0 compiles for Fedora and RHEL6 by simply doing:

  rpmbuild -ta librep-0.91.1.tar.bz2
  # install librep + librep-devel
  rpmbuild -ta rep-gtk-0.90.5.tar.bz2
  # install...
  rpmbuild -ta sawfish-1.8.0.tar.bz2
  # install...

This is already handled in sawfish.spec.in with @version@ macro.

The only minor problem is that ChangeLog part doesn't include correct
version number. rpmlint gives a warning for it, nothing else...
