Heh, nah, not yet. Just figured I'd give it a shot, and made sure there was a 
clean upgrade path from official ATrpms packages to these and back to 
official ATrpms packages. However, I do like a lot of the changes Chris has 
made, from a "user-wants-to-rebuild-their-own" point of view. Still a bunch 
of stuff in there that make it not yet possible to build them without some 
macros though, as evidenced by Karsten's feedback. :-)

about it. Guess I didn't wait long enough. ;-)
