Building of RPM's from the current cogito tree fails:

-> rpmbuild -ba cogito.spec 
...
make -C tools install
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/BUILD/cogito-0.12.1/tools'
gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o git-mailsplit mailsplit.c
gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o git-mailinfo mailinfo.c

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/BUILD/cogito-0.12.1/tools'
make: *** [install-tools] Error 2
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.6363 (%install)


This fixes it:

Dear diary, on Thu, Aug 04, 2005 at 10:47:19PM CEST, I got a letter

Thanks, I fixed it the other way around, changing Documentation/Makefile
to use $DESTDIR. :-)
