Yes but if you will look (again) in oure cvs repo in SPECS module you can
find adapter.awk acript.
Using this script pevent so stupid bugs :o)

Try use this script on any spec file you heve by:

[SPECS]$ ./adapter.awk foo.spec > bar.spec

and compare :)

If you will look deeper in commitd logs you will see many times "- spec
adapterized." comment or simillar. Probably now you know what it can mean
:)
