	Bit of a problem attempting to build using rpm and the .spec
file included...

] Provides: gpg openpgp
] 
] 
] RPM build errors:
]     File not found by glob: /tmp/rpmbuild_gnupg/usr/bin/gpgkeys_*
]     File not found: /tmp/rpmbuild_gnupg/usr/lib/gnupg

	gpgkeys_ldap, and gpgkeys_hkp are being built but the Makefile
in the keyservers directory wants to install them in .../libexec/gnupg/
and not in .../bin as the spec file expects.  And it's also looking
for lib/gnupg.  Another inconsistency.  That doesn't get created.

	Fixing the two lines in the spec file seem to fix the problem,
but is it the correct fix?  Should the keyserver helpers be going in
/usr/bin, /usr/libexec/gnupg, or /usr/lib/gnupg?  Changing the spec
file leaves the keyserver helpers in /usr/libexec/gnupg and gpg seems
to find them just fine...
