Right. Note that this is /not/ autoconfiguring .spec from .spec.in, you are
"just" automating the process I do by hand.

Right, the .spec.in here doesn't imply the use of autoconf.

(That being said, if you *are* using autoconf, the "make release" target 
is also a good place to produce the autoconf generated files, being just 
another class of autogenerated-but-should-be-in-the-tarball files.)

Using latest cogito (0.15 63ef5488c38b6660c72f042d4aa3015d72a3bd28) +
latest git (0.99.7), cloning locally I don't see that. My older
repositories (cloned over the net at various times or made locally) don't
show it either.
