RPM package questions

Hello Devs,

I have partial success with building the RPM package. It
installs runs and uninstalls fine. It is
still rough and needs refinements like what it deppends on
and where to put the icons specific for
the Fedroa distro so that they appear in the start-menu of
Gnome and KDE.

Now that I have built the RPM statically, i.e. by hand, I
will need to arrange for an automatic
build somewhere in the ANT build.xml file.
